On tlie 4tli of September, 1880, the Fish Commission steamer " Fish 

 Hawk" made a two days' trip from the summer station at IS^ewport, E. I., 

 to the edge of the Gulf Stream. Several hauls of the trawl-net were 

 made at the following stations: Nos. 805, 800, 807; lat. 40° 5'; long. 

 70O 23' W. ; depth, 05 fathoms. No. 808 ; lat. 40° 1' 42" :N". ; long. 70° 

 22' 30" W. ; depth, 102 fathoms. No. 809; lat. 40° 2' 18" N. ; long. 70° 

 23' 0" W. ; depth, 192 fathoms. No. 870 ; lat. 40° 2' 30" N. ; long. 

 TOO 22' 58" W. ; depth, 155 fathoms. No. 871 ; lat. 40° 2' 54" N. ; long. 

 70O 23' 40" W.; depth, 115 fathoms. No. 872; lat. 40° 5' 39" N.; 

 long. 70° 23' 52" W. ; depth, 80 fathoms. 



Tiie results of this day's work are unparalleled in the history of the 

 Commission. Over 120 species of invertebrates and fishes yvere added 

 to the fauna of Southern New England. The list of fishes never before 

 seen south of Cape Cod is as follows. The other fishes taken in the 

 same hauls are also mentioned, inclosed in brackets : 



1. GlyiJtocephalus cyno(jlossns, (hum.) Gill; young; 809,870. 



2. Monolene sessilicauda, n. s., n. g. ; 870, 871. 



3. Citharichthys arctifrotis, n. s. ; 871, 872. 



4. CitJiarichthys unicornis, n. s. ; 870, 871. 



5. Thyris pellucidus, n. s., n. g. ; 871, 872. 



0. Macrurns Bairdii, Goode & Bean ; adult and young ; 870. 



7. Macrurus carminatus, n. s. ; 870. 



8. Hypsimmetes gohioidcs, n. s. ; 871. 



[Phycis chuss, (Walb.l Gill] I (No. 25925) ; 800. 



[Merlucius hilinearis, (Mitch.) Gill] ; adult and young; 870, 871, 872.. 



9. Phycis Ghesten Goode & Bean ; adult and young ; 808, 809, 870. 

 \Phycis regius, (Mitch.) Gillj; 870. 



10. Lycodes Verrilhi, Goode & Bean ; 870. 



11. Anarrkiehas lupus, limii.; young; 800. 



12. Peristedium miniatum, n. s. ; 805, 872. 



13. Sehastes mnrinus, (Linn.) Liitken, 870, 871. 



14. Eaia, unkn. spec, (with numerous closely studded spines); 871. 



15. Paia, unkn. spec, (in egg, with very long tail) ; 809. 

 10. Myxine yhitinosa, hum.; 809,870. 



On this same ground Gloucester fishermen, in 1879, obtained numerous, 

 specimens of Lopholatilus chamcdeonticeps never elsewhere taken. 



The occurrence of PInjcis regius and Merlucius hilinearis at such great 

 depths is worthy of mention.
