it from many places in the Atlantic (both in its northern and southern parts) and in the indo-pacific 

 sea (S. of Japan, N. of New Guinea, off Amboina etc.). Other localities are cited by Vaillant (1. c, 

 N'cosfoii/a qtiadrioculatiini), by Alcock (-Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist.» 1889, p. 399, the Bengal Bay and the 

 Andamans at 265 — 485 fathoms), by Collett {«Campagnes scientifiques:>, p. 130), and by Gilbert 

 («The ichthyol. Coll. of the U. S. F. C. St. Albatross:>, Report U. S. Comm. Fish. a. Fisheries for 1893, 

 p. 402, the Bering-Sea) and in < Oceanic Ichthyology* p. 100. The distribution of the species turns out 

 to be almost cosmopolitic. The latter work cites besides the C. iiiicrodon {bisca G. & B.) C. bathypliila 

 Vaill., C. clongata Q,'Cax.[stiginaticiis Q,\\\.)^ C. gr a alt's Gthr. and C. i/i/adrioai/ahisYaiW., already mentioned 

 as probably identical with C. iiiicrodon. On the expeditions of the Ingolf^- the C. inicrodoii has several 

 times been captured as appears in rather deep water; some of the specimens are, it is true, rather 

 damaged. The station-list given below will at least illustrate the frequency of these small fishes in 

 the subarctic zone of which it treats.

The depth thus varied, after the trawling journal, from 295 to 1435 fathoms. The bottom- 

 temperatures noted varied from o°.3 to 6°.i C. The < Ingolf » expeditions never got this species north of 

 the ridges between Greenland and Iceland, and between Iceland and the Faroe-Islands. On most of 

 the enumerated stations there was fished with vertical nets too, reaching to a depth of icxd--200 fath. 

 withouth any Cyclothoiic being caught, although small fishes and young ones were taken.
