fore, unless a further examination of specimens should bring out points 

 of difference not indicated in the original description, it is evident 

 that this fish must be assigned to the genus Harriotta and stand as 

 the first record of an adult male. In the young males of Harriotta 

 raleighana the claspers are very short and the frontal organ is not 

 developed, although it is plainly indicated in the largest specimen. 

 There are some minor differences in comparative measurements and 

 in the number of tritors that go to make up the dental lamina which 

 appear to separate the two forms. 



The genus Harriotta therefore, as herein shown, is represented by 

 the following species : 



Harriotta raleighana Goode and Bean. Snout shorter, vomerine 

 dental lamina with 8 or 9 tritors on its outer edge. North Atlantic. 

 (See pi. 38.) 



Harriotta chsetirJiainphus (Tanaka). Snout longer, vomerine den- 

 tal lamina with 6 or 7 tritors on its outer edge. North Pacific, Japan. 

 (See pi. 39.) The tritors in each case form a cutting edge. 



So far as we are aware, the following is a complete bibliography of 

 the known species of long-snouted chimaeroids, which have been, or 

 should be, referred to the genus Harriotta. 



Immediately after returning galley proofs to the editor we received 

 the report on the Holocephali or Chimaeras of the Irish Atlantic Slope 

 by E. W. L. Ploh and L. W. Byrne," and from their footnote on page 

 4 it will be seen that they agree with us in making Anteliochimsera a 

 synonym of Harriotta. The note reads as follows: ''The Pacific 

 Anteliochimsera chxtirhamijihus , Tanaka (1909), the description of 

 which reached us too late for discussion in the text, appears to us to 

 be a Harriotta closely allied to its Atlantic congener, but probably 

 distinguished at comparable sizes bv a larger eye and longer second 

 dorsal."

On Harriotta, a new type of Chimeeroid fish from the deeper waters of the north- 

 western Atlantic. 

 Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 17, pp. 471-473, pi. 19. January 26, 1895. 

 In this publication the authors descrilae Harriotta raleighana as a new genus and species, from 

 four specimens, an adult female and three young males, taken off the New England coast at 

 depths ranging from 700 to 1,000 fathoms.

 This short note refers to the volume of the Proceedings of the U. S. National Museum containing 

 the description of Harriotta and other deep sea forms, and criticizes the commemoration of such 

 obscure writers as Harriott and Rondelet.

 Again refers to Harriotta and calls attention to the plate which is copied from the original figure.
