1925] Toicnsend and Nichols, Fishes from Lower California 11 



Scopelengys dispar Garman 

 One each from station 5687, off Pt. San Bartholome, Lower California, 

 in 480 fathoms, and station 5677, somewhat farther south, in 735 fathoms, 

 approximate latitudes 28° to 25°. 



Cyclothone acclinidens Garman 

 One each from station 5693, 451 fathoms, and station 5692, 1076 

 fathoms; two from station 5687, 480 fathoms; southwest of the Santa 

 Barbara Islands, California, to off Pt. San Bartholome, Lower California, 

 approximate latitudes 33° to 28°. These fragile specimens are apparently 

 acclinidens of Garman, which possibly may be what earlier authors have 

 identified as Pacific microdon. 



Chauliodus sloanei Bloch and Schneider 

 One from station 5697 (south of Monterey, California, approximate 

 latitude 36°), in 485 fathoms, not in good condition. 



Argyropelecus lichnus Garman 

 One taken at station 5682, in 491 fathoms. 



Argyropelecus affinis Garman 

 A specimen from station 5691, in 868 fathoms (off Todos Santos Bay, 

 Lower California, approximate latitude 31°), and another from station 

 5686, in 930 fathoms (off Balenas Bay, approximate latitude 26°). 



Halosaurus attenuatus Garman 

 One from station 5676 (approximate latitude 26°, off Pt. San 

 Juanico, Lower California), 645 fathoms. Identification somewhat 

 uncertain owing to mutilation of specimen. 



Venefica tentaculata Garman 



Four specimens of this genus we refer to this single variable species. 

 All approximate Garman's description thereof, and differ from V. ocella 

 chiefly in having a decidedly shorter tentacle on snout. All are from 

 near the same locality, approximate latitudes 25° to 26°, off Pt. San 

 Juanico, Lower California, 647 to 735 fathoms. 



One from station 5677, in 735 fathoms, 28 inches long, has well- 

 developed caudal, equaling % snout. One from station 5676, 647 

 fathoms, 30 inches long has less developed caudal equaling % snout.
