I—SYSTEMATIC PART. 
1. THE ANTARCTIC FISHES. 
THE collection includes examples of twenty-five species, twelve of which have been 
described as new to science in a preliminary note (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) xq, 
1914, pp. 11-14), four of these being new generic types. This large proportion of new 
forms is doubtless due to the fact that the bulk of the collection was dredged at depths 
varying from about 50 to 250 fathoms. All but three of the species belong to the 
group Nototheniiformes, and the additions to our knowledge of the genus 7rematomus, 
the Harpagiferinae and the Chaenichthyidae, are of considerable importance. A new 
genus of the Bathydraconidae resembles the northern Cottid Icelus in its armature of 
spinate bony plates, and the first Antarctic species of Paraliparis is of interest.
