Teleostei. 
ACANTHOPTERYGII. 
Trachichthys darwinii, Johnson. 
1895. Goode and Bean, p. 188, fig. 207. 
1899. Alcock, p. 35. 
A single specimen was obtained at Station 390. In the fresh 
state the colour was a uniform scarlet, fading to a pale silvery tint 
on the abdomen. 
Family CYTTIDAE. 
Antigonia capros, Lowe. 
1887. Giinther, p. 44. 
1895. Goode and Bean, p. 229, fig. 235. 
1899. Alcock, p. 44. 
A single specimen was obtained at Station 389. The height 
of its body exactly equalled the length of body (without the cau- 
dal fin). Only three examples were known from previous ‘‘ Investi- 
gator’’ researches, and in all four specimens slight differences 
existed from the figure given by Goode and Bean. The head, 
when viewed in profile, shows a well-marked convexity between 
the eyes, not a uniform concavity as they figure it, and the eye 
is distinctly larger. 
In the two small specimens there is present a well-marked 
vertical black streak running upwards from the orbit. 
Famliy ZOARCIDAE. 
Neobythites macrops, Gtinther. 
Three small specimens ranging from 86 to 135 mm. in total 
length (without caudal) and a single large example, 233 mm., were 
obtained at Station 391. 
PEDICGULATS. 
Lophius lugubris, Alcock. 
1899. Alcock, p. 55; and Ill. Zool. Invest., Fishes, pl. xiv, fig. 1. 
1908. Brauer, p. 314. 
A single example, obtained at Station 391, is referred to 
this species. A careful comparison with Alcock’s type specimens 
revealed a very close resemblance, the only appreciable difference 
being in the diameter of the eyes, which was considerably greater 
than in the type; but this may very possibly be due to shrinkage 
in Alcock’s specimens caused by prolonged immersion in spirit. 
Brauer (/.c.) obtained a single small specimen, which he 
considers must belong to this species, off the N. W. coast of 
Sumatra: he states that there were only two spines, instead of
