FISHES— REGAN. 13 



24. Chaenodraco fasciatus, Regan (PL ix, fig. 2). 



Chaenodraco fasciatus, Regan, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) xm, 1914, p. 14. 



Depth of body 7 in the length, length of head 2f. Snout 2-j in length of 

 head, diameter of eye 4^, interorbital width 44;. Maxillary extending to below 

 anterior -? T of eye. Rostral spine antrorse. Dorsal vn, 40, the two fins separate. 

 Anal 34. Pectoral a little more than f length of head, extending to seventh anal 

 ray ; pelvics as long as head, reaching fourteenth ray of anal. Body with five 

 blackish cross-bars. 



A single specimen, 92 mm. in total length, from McMurdo Sound, 77° 13' S., 

 164° 18' E., 207 fathoms. 



The pelvic tin-rays are simple, doubtless a juvenile character. As the snout is 

 proportionately longer and the eye smaller than in the much larger specimen of C. 

 wilsoni, this cannot be the young of that species. The much greater distance 

 between the last ray of the spinous dorsal and the first ray of the soft fin is also 

 an important character. 



Cyclopteridae. 



25. Paratiparis antarcticus, Regan (PI. n, fig. 1). 



Paralvparis antarcticus, Regan, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) xm, 1914, p. 11. 



Depth of body equal to or greater than length of head, which is 4 to 4i in 

 the length of the fish. Snout obtuse, projecting a little beyond mouth, longer than 

 diameter of eye, which is about 5 in the length of head. Maxillary extending to 

 below posterior edge of eye ; teeth villiform, in bands. Lower end of gill-opening 

 opposite middle of base of pectoral. Dorsal 60; origin above extremity of operculum. 

 Anal 55 ; origin below about ninth ray of dorsal. Pectoral of an upper portion, 

 19-rayed, -f to f the length of head, extending a little beyond the origin of anal, 

 connected by a low membrane including three or four short, spaced rays with a lower 

 four- or five- rayed portion, as long as the upper and reaching the vent. Skin loose, 

 transparent. 



Three examples, 90 to 140 mm. in total length, from off new land south of the 

 Balleny Islands, 200 fathoms. 



2.— FISHES FROM NEW ZEALAND. 



There are examples of thirty-four species, ten of which have been described as new 

 to science (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist, (8) xm, 1914, pp. 14-16). 

 The fishes are from Cape North, unless otherwise stated. 



SCYLIORHINIDAE. 



1. Scyliorhinus laticeps, Dumeril.
