rag(5 249: Helkolenns dKctylopterns. (Jollott records the presence of this speeies 

 along the entire coast of Xorway as far noith as Tronisoe and Fiimiark. and states tliat 

 off Stavanger and Bergoii it is lound at depths of 100 to 200 fatlioms. An individual of 

 220 millimeters from Trondlijein's Fiord is in the imiseum at Troiidhjem (Cliristiania 

 Vidensk. Selsk. Forhandl., 1S7!), No. 1, !); Norses Fiske, l!l, 22t)). 



-It was added to the British fauna in 1880 by the Rev; Jlr. Green, who took several 

 specimens from the southwest coast of England in L>.")0 fathoms (diinther. Ann. ami Mag. 

 Nat. Hist., Dec, 1889, 417). This completes the chain of localities from the .Mediterranean, 

 lat. 36° N. to Lit. G."i-r)9^ N. 



The disposition of the Mediterranean zoologists seems to l)e to regard this form as 

 idejitical with the Sebasies imperitdiH of Cuvier and Valenciennes: See the admirable com- 

 pilation of Diiderlein (^lanuale Ittiologica del ]\leditenaneo, 1889-1891, p. 272). 



The localities of s])ecimens obtained by the .\iiieiican exploring vessels were not 

 mentioned in the text. They are as follows: Two specimens (Cat. No. 32108, IT. S. N. M.) 

 obtained by Capt. J. W. Collins from 40^ 02' N. lat., 7P 02' W. Ion., and an individual 

 (Cat. No. 321G7, U. S. N. M.) also secured by Capt. Collins from the same locality. The Fish 

 Ilaivk obtained examples (Cat. No. 31002, U. S. N. M.) from station 1098, in 393 53' jq^, j^f., 

 090 43' W. Ion., at a deitth of lot; fathoms; Cat. No. 3Hi03, U. S. N. M., from station 1097, 

 in 393 .-.4' N. lat., G9o 44' W. Ion., at a depth of 158 fathoms, and Cat. No. 31007, V. S. N. .M., 

 from station 1092, in 39= 58' N. lat., 09° 42' W. Ion., at a depth of 2t)2 fathoms. 



Page 252: roHthius sierra {=Sebnstoj)Uis .nerra, Gilbert, Proc. U. S. N. M., Xiu, 1890, 

 82). Four specimens were obtained from Alhutronr stations 2990 and .'iOll, ofl' southern 

 California, in 112 and 71 fathoms. 



Seba.stcs he.vancma (Giinther, ('hallenger Peport, vr, 40, Pi. xvii, tig. b; xxii, 18), 

 described from off the Ki Islands, Challenger station 192, at a (lci)th of 140 fathoms, and 

 subsequently reported by Alcock from the Arafura Sea, Incestiiiator station 118, at a depth 

 of 108 to 220 fathoms (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., July, 1891,23), appears to belong more 

 nearly to the genus Pontinns than to any other, having, as it does, 12 dorsal .spine.s, anal III, 

 5, head scaly above as well as on checks and opercles, j>ectorals not i)rocurreut, pectoral 

 rays simple, suborbital Keel with a few strong si)ines.

SehasMobns macrochir. Giinther (Challenger Pepoit, he. cit.), was taken by the Chal- 

 lenger off Nishima, Japan, in 355 fatlioms, as well as in siiallower water.

 ■was obtained bv the Challenfjer at stations .'.OO and 307. near .■Magellan Strait, in 147 and 

 345 fathoms. Giinther states that the speci(>s lives at certain times or localities nimd. 

 nearer the surface, and is not uncommon along the Antarctic coasts of South America 

 (Challenger Report, xxii, 18).
