 Plymouth, ivith Descriptions of new Species. Bj P. W. 

 Bassett-Smith, F.Z.S., F.R.M.S., Surgeon E.N. 

 [Plates ni.-VL] 



In taking up this subject I am chiefly indebted to Prof. F. 

 Jeffrey Bell, who suggested it to me as being likely to prove 

 a fruitful and interesting investigation to fill up time while 

 stationed at Plymouth, This I the more willingly did, 

 having the kind assistance of the Director of the Marine 

 Biological Association's Laboratory and others there, to whom 

 I tender my best thanks. The greater part of the material 

 was, however, obtained by daily and diligent search at certain 

 fishmongers in the town. 



Although there are many admirable monographs and 

 treatises dealing with these curious and often hizarre-look'mg 

 animals, they are chiefly of somewhat ancient date : the most 

 important are : —
