The genus Lycodapus cannot be retained among the 

 Zoarcidce, as its general relations are with Fierasfer rather 

 than Lycodes. It seems to represent a distinct family 

 ( Lycodapodidie ) distinguished from Fierasfer by the nor- 

 mal position of the vent, which is not at the throat. Its 

 gill membranes are separate and free from the isthmus. 

 The accompanying plate is taken from one of the types.

1889, 178. Off Coast of Colombia, near Panama. 



Two additional specimens of the species called Breg- 

 maceros bathymaster have been found since the species 

 was first described. They are from the same locality, 

 having been mislaid in the removal of the collection. 

 These are in better condition than the first and seem to 

 agree fully with the accounts of B . macclellandi. 



The genus Bregmaceros has the hypercoracoid perfo- 

 rate, as in the B rot at idee. It cannot therefore be placed 

 among the Gadidce, but belongs very near the Brotulidce, 

 if it be not a genuine member of that family.
