16 “TERRA NOVA” EXPEDITION. 
A single specimen, 80 mm. in total length, from Cape North; 70 fathoms. 
Compared with J. schoteli this species is still more aberrant in form, with the 
insertion of the dorsal spine higher and further back, behind instead of in front of the 
soft dorsal fin. It agrees more closely with N. fernandezianus, which has heen figured 
by Delfin on the cover of his Catalogue of Chilean Fishes. The type of NV. fernandezianus 
measures 167 mm., and it may be owing to its larger size that the eye is smaller (53 in 
length of head), the snout longer (12 instead of 14 rest of head) than in NV. wenosoma ; 
also the greater length of the dorsal bristles is doubtless due to age. The difference in 
structure and position of the dorsal spine may be more important, and in all probability 
direct comparison would reveal other differences between the two forms.

Serranops, Regan, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) xm, 1914, p. 15. 
Related to Plectranthias, Bleek, but with the serrations of the lower praeopercular 
limb weak, not antrorse, and the scales spinulose. Distinguished externally from 
Lepidoperca by the larger mouth, naked maxillary, and almost naked spinous dorsal 
fin. Skeleton as in Plectranthias, the frontals smooth and convex behind the orbits 
and narrow between them, with the mucous canals in contact and the supraorbital 
flanges little developed. Vertebrae 10 + 16. 
17. Serranops maculicauda, Regan (PI. x1, fig. 3). 
Serranops maculicauda, Regan, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) xm, 1914, p. 15. 
Depth of body 22 to 3 in the length, length of head 23 to 23. Snout shorter 
than diameter of eye, which is 3 in length of head ; interorbital width 6. Upper
