distinctive feature is the presence of five species of Notothenia of the coriiceps group, 

 three of them peculiar, and the other two found also in the Magellan District and 

 extending in New Zealand somewhat to the aortb of the boundaries assigned above. 

 (J ataxias atteu uatas is marine south to Campbell Island and at least as far north as 



('(ink's Straits and Tasmania : in fresh water the genus extends to New Caledonia.* 



B. OCEANIC FISHES. 



Ir has been mentioned above that the Glacial District, for coast fishes, comprises 

 the islands that lie within the extreme limit of pack-ice. It may be of some interest to 

 consider the known distribution of the oceanic fishes, whether pelagic, bathypelagic or 

 abyssal, that have been recorded from within this limit. 



Argentinidae. 



The widely distributed genus Bathyiayus is represented by three species — B. 



autarcticus, Giinth., B. gracilis, Loennb., and B. glacialis, Kenan. Of these the first 



ranges north to 37' S., the second to 49 S., and the third is known only from 

 specimens taken off ('oats Land. 



GONOSTOMATIDAE. 



Cyctotlione microdot, Giinth., is cosmopolitan. 



Stomiatidae. 



Stylophthalmuft paradoxus, limner, is a larval form recorded from near Bouvet 

 [sland, and also from the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans. 



SUDIDAE. 



Notnlepifs coatsii, Hollo, is a genus and species that may be peculiar to the area 

 within the extreme limit of pack-ice. It is circumpolar (<■{'. Regan, Trans. K. Soc. 

 Edinb. xt. ix. 1913, p. 233); a larva from Graham Land has recently been (inured by 

 Prof. Roule (Deuxieme Exped. Antarct. Franc. Poiss. pi. in). 



Myctophidae. 



The cosmopolitan genera Myctophum and La?npanyctu$ are each represented by a 

 single species. .1/. antarcticum, Giinth., is circumpolar. and ranges north to 28 S. /.. 

 1 trauer i, Loennb.. is known from a specimen from off ('oats Land, and another from 

 4!) 56' S., 49 56' W.
