Notes. The majority of these specimens are in rather bad condi- 

 tion and the dorsal surface of the disk is almost always torn away. 

 All are white in color, except those from station 5654, which are a 

 very dark gray. 



Ophiernus adspersus has a very great geographical and bathymet- 

 rical range. It lives at very different depths from 291 to 3,653 meters 

 (159 to 1,997 fathoms). In 1911 H. L. Clark listed the principal 

 regions in which this species has been found. It was he who estab- 

 lished the synonymy of O. adspersus and of 0. amiectens; I refer to 

 his memoir for further details (H. L. Clark '11, p. 96.).
