TERRA NOVA EXPEDITION. 



-. Subantarctic Zone, with two districts: Magellan and Antipodes. 



3. Antarctic Zone, with two districts: Glacial and Kerguelen. 



AIhuii 90 per cent, of the species of fishes known from the coasts of the Antarctic 

 continent belong to the division Nototheniiformes; therefore it is evident that the 

 delimitation of an Antarctic region or zone, so far as the fishes are concerned, tnusl be 

 based on the distribution of this group. Recognising this when working out the 

 Antarctic fishes of the "Scotia" expedition about two years ago, 1 took the opportunity 

 of monographing the Nototheniiformes. Since then Professor Roule's report on the 

 fishes of the second Charcot Expedition has appeared, adding to our knowledge of the 

 species and their distribution. Of the 25 Antarctic species of the "Terra Nova" 

 collection ■_':.' are Nototheniiformes, half of these being new species, and several others 

 new records for Victoria Land. This being so, the list of the species and their 

 distribution given below, whilst agreeing in the main with my monograph, includes 

 several additions and alterations. The South Temperate localities are given first, the 

 subantarctic next, and the strictly Antarctic last. "Magellan" includes the coast 

 northwards to Chiloe and Cape Blanco, and " Antipodes " includes the extreme south 

 of New Zealand and the neighbouring subantarctic islands.
