THE FISHES OF THE INGOLF EXPEDITIONS. 



it from many places in the Atlantic (both in its northern and southern parts) and in the indo-pacific 

 sea (S. of Japan, X. of New Guinea, off Amboina etc.). Other localities are cited by Vaillant (1. c, 

 'stoma quadrioculatum), by Alcock (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist.» 1889, p. 399, the Bengal Bay and the 

 Andamans at 265 — 485 fathoms), by Collett ( Campagnes scientifiques , p. 130), and by Gilbert

 p. [02, the Bering-Sea) and in Oceanic Ichthyology p. 100. The distribution of the species turns out 

 to be almost cosmopolitic. The latter work cites besides the C. microdon (lusca G. & B.) C. bathyphila 

 Vaill., C. elongata Gthr. (stigmaticus Gill.), C. gracilis Gthr. and C. (/itadrioailahisXaiW., already mentioned 

 as probably identical with C. microdon. On the expeditious of the Ingolf the C. microdon has several 

 times been captured as appears in rather deep water; some of the specimens are, it is true, rather 

 damaged. The station-list given below will at least illustrate the frequency of these small fishes in 

 the subarctic zone of which it treats.

The depth thus varied, after the trawling journal, from 295 to 1435 fathoms. The bottom- 

 temperatures noted varied from o°. 3 to 6 .1 C. The Ingolf; expeditions never got this species north of 

 the ridges between Greenland and Iceland, and between Iceland and the Faroe-Islands. On most of 

 the enumerated stations there was fished with vertical nets too, reaching to a depth of 100-200 fath.
