 obtained this form at station 120, in the Bay of Bengal, at a depth of 240 to 27(> fathoms. 



Alcock states that Congcrmunriia loiiflicauda "seems to be characteristic of the Bay of 

 Bengal between 200 and .300 fathoms"' (Ann. and JNIag. Xat. TTist.. November, 1S02, 3(12).

 station 112, in Ifi.j to 2.10 fathoms. 



Comjermura'na Hiiualiceps, Alcock (Journ. Asiatic Soc. of Bengal, Part ii, No. 4, 1883), 

 a species allied to G. megastoma, was obtained in the I>ay of Bengal in 128 fathoms, as was 

 also G. nasica, Alcock. 



LepiocephaJus vulgaris. jNIany individuals were taken by A'inciguerra in the Gulf of 

 Genoa, July 20, 1879, at a depth of about GOO meters (Crociere delle Yiolante, 120). 



Uroconger ricinici, Alcock. Alcock identifies with tliis species a large female, 2."> 

 inches long, with gravid ovaries, taken by the luvcutigatur at station 132, in the P.ay of 

 Bengal, at a depth of 475 fathoms (.Vnn. and Mag. Nat. Hist., November, 1S92, 303). 



Page 139: Goloconger raniceps, Alcock. Alcock states that this species seems to be 

 characteristic of the Bay of Bengal between 200 and 400 fathoms, occurring in almost every 

 haul (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., November, 1892. 304).

Xenomystax trucidens. Alcock (Journ. Asiatic Society of Bengal, LXiii. Part ir.. No. 2, 

 p. 20), found by the Investigator in the Laccadive Sea, station 150. 719 fathoms, is closely 

 allied to X. atrarius, Gilbert. 



Page 149 : Nettastoma melanuriim. A single individual was taken by Vinciguerra with 

 long lines in the Gulf of (i.Mioa, July 20, 1879, at a depth of about 000 meters (Crociere 

 delle Yiolante, 121). 



Page 150: Gavialiceps microps, Ah-ock i Ann. and Mag. Xat. Hist.. November 1892,304), 

 gives additional notes upon two specimens. 13 and 15 inches long, obtained by the Invcsti- 

 (lator in the Laccadive Sea, station 120, 1,370 fathoms, and in the Gulf of .Manaar, station 

 128, 102 fathoms. He suggests that this species is perhaps identical with that described 

 by Yaillant under the name yemirhtbys infans; in other words, the species discussed by 

 us under the name of Serrivomer liirhardii (see p. 155). This opinion is, of course, simply 



by way of suggestion. r, , ■ i 



The form referred bv Wood-Mason t.. the genus Gavialiceps, under the name G twnwla, 

 is referred by Alcock to the g.-nus Nettastoma. After a study of numerous sexually imma-
