236 MR C. TATE REGAN ON THE 



The prsemaxillary teeth are biserial, except posloriorly, where the inner series is 

 replaced by three, forming a narrow band. 



15. ChaJinu7-a ferrieri, sp. n. (PI. II. fig. 1.) 



Snout ratlier strongly produced (for a Chalinura) ; mouth wide, the maxillary 

 nearly reaching the vertical from posterior edge of eye ; infraorbital ridge fairly 

 prominent. Diameter of eye less than length of snout, 4-| in length of head ; inter- 

 orbital widtli 4. Dorsal H 9; distance from second dorsal a little more than -^ the 

 length of head. Origin of anal at distance from head equal to length of head without 

 snout. Pectoral 18 or ID-rayed, |- the length of head, extending to above origin of 

 anal. Pelvics 1 1 -rayed, the outermost ray filamentous, reaching anal. Scales mostly 

 with 3 parallel series of spinules, but the lateral series sometimes reduced to a single 

 spine, or absent ; 8 scales between dorsal fin and lateral line. 



A single specimen, 230 mm. in total length, from Station 417, 71° 22' S., 16° 34' W.,

 tance from second dorsal ^ the length of head. Origin of anal at distance from head 

 ec^ual to length of head without snout. Pectoral 18-19-rayed. Pelvic 9-rayed, the 

 outermost ray filamentous, not I'eaching anal. Scales with 1 series of spinules, but

Proi: Roy. Soc. Edin., xxix., 1909, p. 316. 

 The type of the genus and species, a specimen of 300 mm., was obtained by the 

 Scotia at Station 414, 7 1° 50' S., 23° 30' W., in a depth O-IOOO fathoms, surface tempera- 

 ture 31 '5° F., vertical net, on 15th February 1904. The dentition is very characteristic ; 

 in the prsemaxilkiries a narrow band of unequal teeth separated by an interspace from a
