and Sierra Leone, the Arabian Gulf, Kermadec Islands, East Indies, and 

 Japan. 



Argi/ropelecHS : — Stands fairly well toward a Caribbean strait and but 

 tolerably fair in respect to one from the east end of the Mediterranean. 

 It is known from the Pananiic, the Caribbean, from the Banks of Newfound- 

 land to South Carolina, from off Norway to France, from Portugal, the 

 Cape Yerdes, the Canaries, and South Africa, and from the Mediterranean 

 and the Bay of Bengal. 



Valenciennellus : — Not yet known from the Panamic, having been 

 collected west of San Diego, California. Other localities are Denmark 

 Straits and Madagascar. 



Maurolicus : — Various species have been secured in the Panamic to the 

 Gulf of California and to California, off New York, off Norway, and in the 

 Mediterranean Sea. 



Cydolhonc : — Evidently an inhabitant of all the deeper marine waters; 

 found in the Panamic to Puget Sound and the mid Pacific, in the Caribbean 

 and the Gulf to Newfoundland Banks, in Davis and Denmark Straits and 

 off Iceland, in the Bay of Biscay to Madeira, in the mid Atlantic and off 

 Sierra Leone, in the Arabian Gulf and the Bay of Bengal to the East 

 Indies, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, and in the Antarctic. To be 

 cited in favor of Arctic, Antarctic, or Caribbean Strait migrations with 

 about the same assurance. 



ChloropMliahms : — Present in the Panamic, the Hawaiian Islands, Chili, 

 the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico to off New York in the Gulf Stream, 

 in the mid Atlantic off Madeira, the Cape Verdes, Bahia, and Montevideo, 

 in the Mediterranean and the Bay of Bengal, east and south of Australia 

 and in the Antarctic. If the species on the two sides of Central America 

 were more closely allied this genus might be considered fair evidence in fiivor 

 of a Panamic strait. 



Seopclengi/s : — ■ Two localities only are to be given for this genus, the 

 Panamic and the Laccadive Sea. 



Bathi/ptcro'is : — One of the genera which by known range and specific 

 affinities most favors the Central American strait. Species have been taken 

 in the Panamic to the Gulf of California, mid south Pacific, Fijis, in the Car- 

 ibbean and the Gulf Stream to off New York, off Pernambuco and Monte- 

 video, off Madeira and the northwest coast of Africa, and in the Arabian 

 Gulf and Bav of Bengal.
