1. Raid magellanica, Steind. (PI. I.) 

 Znol. Jahrh. SuppL, vi., 1905, p. 212. 

 One specimen from Station 346, Burdwood Bank, depth 56 fathoms; taken on 

 1st December 1905. r,at. 54° 25' S., long. 57° 32' W. ; temperature 41-8° F. 



Tliis is a female of exactly the same size as Steindachner's type, and apparently in 

 every way similar, except that there is only a single scapulary spine, instead of a series 

 of three on each side. 



This species is related to R. murrayi, Giinth., from Kerguelen, but has a blunter 

 snout, a shorter tail, and somewhat different spination. 



ISOSPONDYLI. 



Clupkid^.

Depth of body 4 to 5 in the length. Lower jaw very prominent ; minute teeth in 

 a single series on the palatines and in an elongate patch on the tongue. Dorsal 17-18 ; 

 origin equidistant from anterior edge of eye and base of caudal tin. Anal 17-20. 

 Origin of pelvics vertically below that of dorsal. About 50 scales in a longitudinal 

 series ; ventral scutes not prominent. 



Several specimens, up to 170 mm. in total length, taken at Station 118, Port 

 Stanley, Falkland Islands, in February 1904, when extraordinary shoals of this herrino- 

 visited Port Stanley Harbour. 



Argentinid.e. 



3. Bathi/lagus (/lacialis, s]). n. (PL IX. fig. 2.) 



Depth of body 6 to 6}, in the length, length of head 44 to 4i. Diameter of eye 

 2i to 21 in the length of head, interocular width 3, interorbital width 6. Dorsal 10 ;

* A series of nine water-colour drawings made by Mr Cuthbertson for the most part represent fishes from Scotia 

 Bay, South Orkneys, viz. Notolepis coatsii, Harparjifer bispinis, Trematomus nexmiesii, Motothem'a coriiceps, N. nudifrons, 

 and A^. gibberifrons : there is also a sketch of Lijcenchelys antarcticus. In one or two cases I have referred to these 

 in the te.\t.
