and Sierra Leone, the Arabian Gulf, Kermadec Islands, East Indies, and 
Japan. 
Argyropelecus : — Stands fairly well toward a Caribbean strait and but 
tolerably fair im respect to one from the east end of the Mediterranean. 
It is known from the Panamie, the Caribbean, from the Banks of Newfound- 
land to South Carolina, from off Norway to France, from Portugal, the 
Cape Verdes, the Canaries, and South Africa, and from the Mediterranean 
and the Bay of Bengal. 
Valenciennellus: — Not yet known from the Panamic, having been 
collected west of San Diego, California. Other localities are Denmark 
Straits and Madagascar. 
Maurolicus : — Various species have been secured in the Panamic to the 
Gulf of California and to California, off New York, off Norway, and in the 
Mediterranean Sea. 
Cyclothone : — Evidently an inhabitant of all the deeper marine waters ; 
found in the Panamic to Puget Sound and the mid Pacific, in the Caribbean 
and the Gulf to Newfoundland Banks, in Davis and Denmark Straits and 
off Iceland, in the Bay of Biscay to Madeira, in the mid Atlantic and off. 
Sierra Leone, in the Arabian Gulf and the Bay of Bengal to the East 
Indies, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, and in the Antarctic. To be 
cited in favor of Arctic, Antarctic, or Caribbean Strait migrations with 
about the same assurance. 
Chlorophthalmus : — Present in the Panamic, the Hawaiian Islands, Chili, 
the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico to off New York in the Gulf Stream, 
in the mid Atlantic off Madeira, the Cape Verdes, Bahia, and Montevideo, 
in the Mediterranean and the Bay of Bengal, east and south of Australia 
and in the Antarctic. If the species on the two sides of Central America 
were more closely allied this genus might be considered fair evidence in favor 
of a Panamic strait. 
Scopelengys : —'Two localities only are to be given for this genus, the 
Panamic and the Laccadive Sea. 
Bathypterois: —One of the genera which by known range and specific 
affinities most favors the Central American strait. Species have been taken 
in the Panamic to the Gulf of California, mid south Pacific, Fijis, in the Car- 
ibbean and the Gulf Stream to off New York, off Pernambuco and Monte- 
video, off Madeira and the northwest coast of Africa, and in the Arabian 
Gulf and Bay of Bengal.
