DESCRIPTIONS OF SEVEN NEW SPECIES OF FISHES FROM DEEP 
SOUNDINGS ON THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND COAST, WITH 
DIAGNOSES OF TWO UNDESCRIBED GENERA OF FLOUNDERS 
AND A GENUS RELATED TO MERLUCIUWUS. 
By G. BROWN GOODE. 
On the 4th of September, 1880, the Fish Commission steamer “ Fish 
Hawk” made a two days’ trip from the summer station at Newport, R. L, 
to the edge of the Gulf Stream. Several hauls of the trawl-net were 
made at the following stations: Nos. 865, 866, 867; lat. 40° 5’; long. 
70° 23’ W.; depth, 65 fathoms. No. 868; lat. 40° 1’ 42” N.; long. 70° 
22' 30” W.; depth, 162 fathoms. No. 869; lat. 40° 2’ 18” N.; long. 70° 
23’ 6 W.; depth, 192 fathoms. No. 870; lat. 40° 2/ 36” N.; long. 
70° 22/ 58" W.; depth, 155 fathoms. No. 871; lat. 40° 2’ 54” N.; long. 
70° 23’ 40” W.; depth, 115 fathoms. No. 872; lat. 40° 5’ 39” N.; 
long. 70° 23/ 52’ W.; depth, 86 fathoms. 
The results of this day’s work are unparalleled in the history of the 
Commission. Over 120 species of invertebrates and fishes were added 
to the fauna of Southern New England. The list of fishes never before 
seen south of Cape Cod is as follows. The other fishes taken in the 
same hauls are also mentioned, inclosed in brackets : 
. Glyptocephalus cynoglossus, (Linn.) Gill; young; 869, 870. 
. Monolene sessilicauda, n.'8., n. g.; 870, 871. 
. Citharichthys arctifrons, n. 8.; 871, 872. 
. Citharichthys unicornis, n. 8.3 870, 871. 
. Thyris pellucidus, n. s., n. g.; 871, 872. 
. Macrurus Bairdii, Goode & Bean; adult and young; 870. 
. Macrurus carminatus, n. 8.; 870. 
. Hypsicometes gobioides, n. 8.; 871. 
[Phycis chuss, (Walb.) Gill]? (No. 25925); 866. 
| Merlucius bilinearis, (Miteh.) Gill]; adult and young; 870, 871, 872. 
9. Phycis Chestert Goode & Bean; adult and young; 868, 869, 870. 
[Phycis regius, (Mitch.) Gill]; 870. 
10. Lycodes Verrillii, Goode & Bean ; 870. 
11. Anarrhichas lupus, Linn.; young; 866. 
12. Peristedium miniatum, n. 8.3; 865, 872. 
13. Sebastes marinus, (Linn.) Liitken, 870, 871. 
14. Raia, unkn. spec. (with numerous closely studded spines); 871. 
15. Raia, unkn. spec. (in egg, with very long tail); 869. 
16. Myxine glutinosa, Linn.; 869, 870. 
On this same ground Gloucester fishermen, in 1879, obtained numerous 
specimens of Lopholatilus chamaleonticeps never elsewhere taken. 
The occurrence of Phycis regius and Merlucius bilinearis at such great 
depths is worthy of mention.
