518 DEEP-SEA FISHES OF THE ATLANTIC BASIN. 



.station 120, B;iy of Bengal, 120 to 76 fathoms, Alcock states that the species was originally 

 described from immature individuals, and was included with (JaviaUccjys microps in a new 

 genus. The investigation of full-grown individuals shows that this species has no i)lace in 

 the genus Gavialice^Js, which is a true Nemichthyine form without hus, but that it ought to 

 be ranked with Xettufitoma (Alcock, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., 1891, 136). 



Page 15S: Incest i<iatfir, Goode, new genus. A genus of Nemielilliyichv apparently 

 allied to the Spiairomcrinw and to the genus Scrrirumer, the jaws being moderate and 

 the length of the snout little more than half that of the head. "The gill openings, which 

 arc wide, are separated from one another only by a thin fold of the skin,'' as in tS2>inirom- 

 erina: "Small recurved asperities in crowded bands form the dentitions of the Jaws and 

 vomer." A long series of stout, sharp, close-set spines like those of Notacantkus occupying 

 the middle third of the dorsal fin. Pores of lateral line arranged in quincunces. Type, 

 Inrestiijiitor amiithonolus (Alcock). (Journ. Asiatic Society of Bengal, i.xiii, Part ii, No. 

 2, p. 22), which was found by the Invesfiyafor in the Bay of Bengal, station 165,.in 475 

 fathoms. 



Page 151): Eury pharynx pelecaiioides. Three specimens were taken by the French 

 Expedition off the coast of Morocco, in depths of 1,0.")0, 1,400, and 2,300 meters.

 the Zoology of 11. M. S. Inrcstiyaltir," Part I, PI. VI, tig. 1, Calcutta, 1802. 



Page 167: Second paragraph. Eisso said "neuf rayons," which makes the whole 

 occurrence still more incomprehensible.

Bery.r decadactylits. A stray specimen was taken at Nice in July, 1885, and is now 

 in Giglioli's collection in Florence. This would indicate that this sjiecies is becoming a 

 member of the deep-sea fauna of the Mediterranean. 



Page 17S: rkcfromus {t') microps {Mclamphai's microiin, Giiiithcr, Oliallenger Eeport, 

 XXII, 26) was obtained by the Challenger at station 14(i, between the Oape of Good Hope 

 and Kerguelen Island, at a depth of 1,375 fathoms. 



Page 179: Tleclromus crisiiceps {= Mclaniphdl'n criaticcps, Gilbert). A specimen, •S 

 inches long, was obtained from Albatross station 3075, off the coast of Oregon and Wash- 

 ington, at a depth of 859 fathoms (Proc. U. S. N. M., xiii, 1890, 60). 



PlertroniH.s Ingnbris (= Mclaniphars hipiibris, Gilbert) was obtained by the Albatross at 

 station 292.>, off southern California, at a depth of 832 fathoms. It is evidentlj' a Plectro- 

 mus rather than Melamphalis, having the dorsal overlapping the anal, and having three 

 spines in tlie dorsal (Gilbert, Proc. U. S. N. M., xiii, 1890, 60).

 Trans. New Zeal. Inst., viii, 212.— Arthur, Trans. New Zeal. Inst., 1885, xvii, 162, PI. xiv, 

 fig. 2. — Giinther, Challenger Keport, xxii, 23). A specimen, 7i inches long, was found 

 dead and floating on the surface of tlie water near Stewart Island; a second of the same 

 length was caught in Otago Harbor, September 6, 1884; and a third smaller one since that 

 date. 



Trachichthys fernandezianus, Giinther (Challenger Eeport, xxii, 23). Two specimens, 

 preserved in a dry state, were contained in the series of Chilean tish presented by the 

 Chilean Government to the British Museum. They were stated to have been captured at 

 Juan Fernandez, and are 5 inches long. 



Trachichthys ' :cl-soniensis (Castelnaii), Macleay ( Trachichthys aiisfralis, Castelnau, Proc. 

 Linn. Soc. N. S. W., 1879, ill, 364. 2'rachichthys jachsonioisis, Macleay, op. cit. v, 511, — 

 Giinther, Challenger Eeport, xxii, 22). A single specimen, 5i inches long, was found in 

 Port Jackson on the 19th of September, 1S77. 



Trachichthys atistralis, Shaw (Nat. Misc., 378. — Giinther, Cat. Fish. Brit. ]\lus., i, 10; 

 Challenger Eeport, xxii, 22). "Besides the dry typical specimen," says Giinther, "I have 

 seen only one other, 2 inches long, which also is stated to have come from Australia."
