 station 871, in 115 fathoms of water.

A single specimen of this arctic species was obtained off the mouths 

 of IS^ewport Harbor.

Specimens were obtained at the following localities : Stations 870, 155 

 ftithoms; 879, 225 fathoms; 880, 252^ fathoms; 881, 325 fathoms; 893, 

 372 fathoms ; 895, 238 fathoms ; often in considerable abundance.

Two specimens, No. 2G181, came from stations 891 and 894, 487 and 

 365 fathoms. The unique specimen previously known was obtained 

 by Captain Collins in the gully between La Have and Sable Island 

 Banks. The enormous development of the buc(!al muscles appears to be 

 a character acquired in old age, as also the special peculiarities of den- 

 tition mentioned in the description. 



ANARRHICADID.^.

A single small specimen, about 30""" in length, was obtained at 

 station 866, in 65 fathoms. At the time of writing the present notice 

 this is not available for examination, but it is believed to be the young 

 of Anarrhichas lupus^ never before recorded south of Cape Cod.

Specimens of a Liparis closely resembling L. ranula, Goode «& Beau, 

 were obtained at station 879, and are preserved for future discussion.

31. Amitra liparina, new genus and new species {CoUida). 



Two specimens of the fish here described were obtained, October 2, ;it 

 station 891, in 487 fatlioms; one, No. 20184, 1(54""" long; also a smalk'r 

 one, 55" . Their structure was so peculiar that I have long hesitated to 

 describe them. They are evidently Liparoid fishes, without ventral 

 tins or ventral disk. Professor Jordau and Dr. Bean have examined
