Family Lophotid^. 



Of these singular fishes only a few specimens have fallen into the hands of naturalists, 

 and have been referred to two species, Loplwtes cepedianus and Lophotes cristatus.- 

 They were obtained in the Mediterranean, off Madeira, and in the Sea of Japan. Most 

 probably they are deep-sea fishes like the Trachypteridee which they resemble in the 

 general shape of the body, but their skeleton as well as their soft parts is of a firmer and 

 more coherent texture.

This genus is represented in the Southern as well as Northern Hemisphere, but it 

 would appear from the present state of our knowledge that the Antarctic species do not 

 descend to so great a depth as the Arctic. Probably all of the latter will be found to 

 reach beyond the vertical limit of 100 fathoms, but up to the present time this has been 

 ascertained of those species only which are enumerated here. Collett in his valuable 

 contribution to the deep-sea fauna (Norsk. Nordh. Exped. Fisk.) has given a very complete 

 bibliography of this genus. 



1 The skeleton of this specimen is now in the British Museum.
