were, obtained by the Challenger at station 300, in the Messier Channel, at a deptli of 345 

 iiithoms; also at station 312, in Port Famine, at a depth of 10 to 15 iathoms, and at station 

 313, off (Jape Virj>ins, in 55 fathoms.

 Steindachner(Sitzangsber. Aliad. Wiss. Wien, lxxiv. Part i, p. 211).

 L'linlU'Htjcr outside Xai-es Harbor, Admiralty Islands, in 152 fathoms (Gilnther, (jhal

 great depth off the coastof Portugal in I87.S. (Peixes de Portugal, ISSO, 32.) 



The only known specimen of Fscudiscopelus scriplns was taken by Capt. A. F. Andrea 

 at the entrance to the Old Bahama Channel.

 at station 192, off the Ki Islands, in 129 fathoms, and at station 188, in the Arafura Sea, in 

 28 fathoms.

Page 295: GoMus eometcs, Alcock. The depth at which this species is found is 98 to 

 102 fathoms. 



Page 290: Callionymus. Yinciguerra obtained two small examples of the specimen 

 identitied by him with C. maculatus, Eafinesque, 20 miles northeast of Malta, at a depth of 

 170 meters {Crociere delle Violaute, 1883, G9). 



Page 303: Lycodes- hrcripes, Bean (Proc. U. S. N. M. Xiii, 1890, 38). Many specimens 

 were obtained by the Albatross at station 2848, between ITngaand Nagai islands, at a depth 

 of 110 fatlioms.

The length of the head is a little more than that of the trunk and a little less than one- 

 fifth of the total. Eyes large, two-sevenths of the length of the head, and longer than the 

 snout, which is broad, with the uj^per Jaw overlapping the lower; teeth in bands of moderate 

 width, subequal in size; a small patch of teeth on the vomer, and a few teeth anteriorly on 

 the palatine bones. More or less shallow grooves along the infraorbital and the mandible. 

 Gill-opening of moderate width. The dorsal commences above the posterior portion of the 

 pectoral; length of the pectoral one-half of that of the head; each ventral reduced to a short 

 simple filament. Yellowish, with nine broad, dark-brown bands across the upper half of the 

 fish, separated from one another by very narrow interspaces of the ground color. The cross- 

 bars are lighter in the center, subocellated, and extend on to the dorsal flu. A brown band 

 runs from the snout through the eye to the end of the operculum; throat and abdomen 

 blackish ( G ii nth er ) . 



A single specimen, 5 inches long, was taken by the Challenger at station 309, Straits of 

 Magellan, in 40 to 140 fathoms (Giinther).

Lycenchelys albus (Vaillant), Goode and Beau {Lycodes albus, Vaillant, Exp. Sci. Trav. 

 et. Tal., 309, PI. xxvi, flg. 1). This species is, as suggested by Vaillant, evidently closely 

 allied to Lycoiles mnra'na, hnt it appears to be somewhat thicker, and is, furthermore, found 

 at a much greater de^ith and much farther to the southward. The description of V^iillant 

 is as follows:
