Leopard skate. Raja garmani Whitley. Collec- 

 tion data listed on fishing transect profiles. 



Little skate. Raja erinacea Mitchill. Sta. 1-1,3; 

 9-1, 3; 9-3, 1; 10-6, 1; and 10-7, 2 specimens. 



Smooth-tailed skate, Raja senta Garman. Sta, 

 10-1, 1 specimen. 



Thorny skate. Raja radiata Donovan. Sta. 1-1, 1; 

 and 10-1, 3 specimens. 



Lantern Fishes and other "Deep-Sea Fishes" 



Headlight fish, piaphua dumerilii (Bleeker), Sta. 

 4-5, over 300 specimens averaging 75 mm. in 

 length; sta. 7-6, 16; and 10-2, 1 specimen. The 

 lower lobe of the caudal is black, facilitating 

 separation of this species in the field 



Madeira lantern {ish, Lampant/ctua maderensis 

 (Lowe). Sta. 3-5, 1; and 7-6, 1 specimen. This 

 species has the upper lobe of the caudal tipped 

 with black. 



Humboldt's lantern fish, Myctophum humholdti 

 (Risso). Sta. 1-1, 1 specimen plus 2 others, 

 almost certainly this species, that were ap- 

 parently regurgitated by another fish. The 

 latter specimens were each about 160 mm. in 

 length. 



Pearlsides, Maurolicus pennanti (Walbaum). Sta. 

 4-5, 1 specimen. 



Gonostoma, Gonostoma elongatum Gunther. Sta. 

 10-1, 3; and 10-2, 2 specimens. These and 

 many other specimens from stomachs, pre- 

 sumably the same species averaged about 

 170 mm. in length. 



Hatchet fish, Polyipnus aateroides Schultz. Sta. 

 5-6, 1 specimen about 55 mm. in length. 



Paralepis, Paralepis sp. Sta. 7-6, 1 specimen. 

 This appears to be an undescribed species. 



Sorcerer, genus Vene/ico. Sta. 10-2, 1 speci- 

 men. Several examples, probably this genus as 

 well, varying from 300 to 500 mm. were also 

 tsiken from the stomachs of white hake on this 

 station. The specimen listed was taken alive. 

 It had been injured earlier in life and had lost 

 perhaps one-third of its tail. 



Green-eye, Chloropthalmxts agassizii Bonaparte. 

 Sta. 1-1, 8; 1-2, 1; 4-8, 12; 5-6, 5; 9-6, 1; and 

 10-2, 4 specimens. This determination should 

 be considered tentative until present efforts at 

 revision of this genus are completed. 



Benthodesmus, Benthodeamus atlanticus Goode and 

 Bean. Sta. 1-1, 1 specimen.
