 1 904. 



3. Station 414, 71° 50' S., 23° 30' W., to 1000 fathoms; surface temperature 



29-1° F.; vertical net; 15th March 1 904. 



4. Station 417, 71° 22' S., 16° 34' W., 1410 fathoms; temperature at 1410

Bathylagus antarcticus, Giinth., is distinguished by the less graceful form (depth 

 5 in the length) and the longer anal tin with 22 rays. Bathi/lagua (jracilis, another 

 Antarctic species recently described by Lonnberg, has the interorbital space very 

 narrow and deeply concave, and about 41 scales in a longitudinal series. 



Other species of Bathylagus have been described from the South Atlantic (Gunther, 

 Lonnberg), the North Atlantic (Goode and Bean), and the North Pacific (Gilbert).
