type of the latter reveals no trace of the curious leaf-like luminous 
organs on the snout that characterize the new genus, 
Mr. Thompson’s paper includes a revision of the species of Noto- 
thenia found in the Magellan district. He describes as new 
N. longicauda, gilberti, latifrons, and jordani, which will probably 
prove to be synonyms of WV. brevicauda, tessellata, microlepidota, and 
ramsay? respectively ; but as the types of two of the supposed new 
species measure only about 60 mm. in total length, it is difficult to 
place them with certainty. Mr. Thompson separates NV. squamiceps 
from NV. sima, and unites NV. wiltoni with NV. longipes; re-examina- 
tion of the specimens in the Natural History Museum does not lead 
me to accept these conclusions. It may be noted that if I am 
correct in regarding NV. latifrons as the young of NV. microlepidota, 
the number of species of this genus common to the Magellan and 
Antipodes districts is increased to three, NV. microlepidota, macro- 
cephala, and cornucola; records of N. corviceps in these districts 
appear to refer to the last-named. 
There can be little doubt that /diacanthus retrodorsalis is another 
synonym of J. niger, so that this species, first described in 1914 
from off Cape North, New Zealand, has since been redescribed from 
near Macquarie Island and off Lota, Chile. C. Tate Reean.
