Cu-lorhynchus ailnnticuH. The Prince of Monaco obtained a specimen at Fuiiclial,

 off luosima, Japan, in 345 fathoms (Giiuther, Challenger Report, vi. Shore Fishes, 1880, 63). 



If the species called .1/. japonicus by Vaillant should prove to be distinct from our 

 31. occa, it should be remembered that Vaillant has mentioned it under the name M. affini.s 

 (Exp. Sci. Travailleuret Talisman, I'oissons, 1S88, p. 51.) 



Macrtirus lopliotvs, Alcock. An examination of this figure suggests the idea that this 

 species belongs to the genus Goryphwnoldes, rather than to Macrurus, the mouth being 

 terminal rather than inferior.

UHALINIIRA MEDITERRANEA, Gigmoli. (Figure 345A.) 



Only t\70 specimens known, preserved in the central collection of Italian vertebra ta in 

 the Koyal Zoological Museum, Florence; ichthyological catalogues Xos. 2016, 2017. They 

 were both collected by me during the first deep-sea exploration of the Mediterranean by 

 the Italian man of-war steamer WushingtonoK the west coast of the island of Sardinia with 

 the trawl, at station x (lat. 41° 23' 48" X., Ion. 7° 8' 54" E., depth 2,904 meters) and station 

 XI (lat, 41° 18' 42" N., Ion. 6° 54' 2" E., dei)th 2,805 meters), on the 10th of August, 1881. 

 They have hitherto been mentioned with doubt as referable to Coryphcvnoidcn serratm 

 (Lowe), a species insufficiently described, of which the type specimen is lost, none having 

 been found since to fit the incomplete diagnosis given by Lowe (Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 

 1843, 91). 



These two specimens are very similar and apparently adult; both appear to be males, 

 but the genital organs are immature. They are botli almost denuded of scales. These are 

 evidently very deciduous, smooth, very slightly tinted longitudinally, cycloid; rather large; 

 some show slightly flue radiating striae. When ft-esh the color of these two specimens was 

 a light pink or tiesh color, the head and belly strongly tinted with violaceous black ; the latter 

 on account of the intense black peritoneal lining of the visceral cavity, the former owing to 

 the deep black of the inside of the mouth and branchial chambers; the branciiiostegal mem- 

 branes are also deep black. Fins coh)rless. Length of the first specimen, 215 millimeters; 

 of the second, 235 millimeters. The greatest height of the body is from the ventrals to the 

 first dorsal; it is less than the length of the head, and .'ontained about 5A times in the 

 total length. That of the head being contained about 4| in the total. The eye is small, its 

 transverse diameter being contained about li in the length of the snout; the width of the 

 interorbital area above is equal to the length of the snout. The fore part of the body 

 between the eyes and the first dorsal is remarkably gibbous. 



The snout is broad, truncate, not much produced, tricuspidate; three ridges running 

 along its wide upper surface, median one gibbous; the subocular ridges are less marked, 

 and the suborbital one is not joined to the angle of the preoperculum. 



Mouth large, lateral, subterminal; interinaxillary heterodont with outer series ot 

 strong widely set teeth and an inner villilorm band; mandibulary teeth uniserial, large.
