8 “TERRA NOVA” EXPEDITION. 
Here described from 18 examples, up to 120 mm. in total length, from the 
entrance to McMurdo Sound, 76° 56’ S., 164° 12’ E., 160 fathoms ; 77° 13’ 8., 164° 18’ 
E., 207 fathoms; and off Granite Harbour, 50 fathoms. The species was known 
previously from Graham Land. 
15. Artedidraco shackletoni, Waite. 
Artedidraco shackletoni, Waite, Brit. Antarctic Exped. Fish. p. 15, pl. m (1911). 
Depth of body 4 in the length, length of head 23 to 2%. Diameter of eye 
34 to 32 in length of head, interorbital width about 14. Maxillary extending to 
below middle of eye. Barbel smooth, tapering, } to 2 (4) leneth of head. Seven 
oill-rakers on lower part of anterior arch. Dorsal iv (v) 27-28; middle soft rays 
longest. Anal 19 (20). Pectoral with (15) 16-17 rays, + length of head, extending 
to vent or origin of anal; pelvics shorter, not reaching vent. Caudal subtruncate. 
Uniform or finely speckled ; caudal and pectorals spotted. 
Here described from two examples, 132 and 142 mm. in total length, from 
the entrance to McMurdo Sound, 77° 13’8., 164° 18’ E., 207 fathoms, and 76° 56’ S., 
164° 12’ E., 160 fathoms. The type, 146 mm. in total length, from off Cape Royds 
at a depth of 30 to 80 fathoms, had v, 27 dorsal and 20 anal rays. It had the 
barbel a little longer (slightly more than 4 the length of head), the spinous dorsal 
Jess, and the soft dorsal somewhat more elevated than in the specimens here 
described, but these differences are well within the limit of variation as shown by 
other species.

Artedidraco loennbergii, Roule, Deuxieme Expéd. Antarct. Frang. Poiss. p. 13, pl. rv, £. 4 
(1913). 
Depth of body 5 to 6 in the length, length of head 2% to 34. Diameter of 
eye 3 to 3} in length of head; interorbital space very narrow. Maxillary extending 
to below anterior + of eye. Barbel simple, or shghtly fringed distally, + to + length 
of head. Six or seven gill-rakers on lower part of anterior arch. Dorsal 11-111, 26-28. 
Anal 18-21. Soft dorsal and anal usually highest posteriorly. Pectoral with 14 to 
16 rays, 3 to 2 length of head, reaching anal in young, but not in adult; pelvies 
reaching vent in young, but not in adult. Caudal slightly emarginate. A series of 
dark blotches at base of dorsal fin and sometimes at base of anal; a dark lateral band, 
made up of irregular spots, from eye to caudal fin; pale bands above and below it 
are continued along the upper and lower margins of the caudal fin ; dorsal and middle 
of caudal with spots on the rays ; pectorals usually barred. 
Previously known from South Georgia and from Graham Land; here described 
from twenty-two examples measuring up to 110 mm. in total length from :—Ross 
Sea, 74° 25'8.,.179° 3' E., 158 fathoms ; off new land south of the Balleny Islands,
