PLEURONECTID.E. 



Zeugopterus Bosci, Risso - Stations 3, 6, and 10. 



The Zeugopteri taken by the Silver Belle do not all possess the 

 black spots on the dorsal and anal fins usually found in this species, 

 but have the shape of Z. Bosci rather than of Z. megastoma. Specimens 

 from the Bay of Biscay, regarded by one of us as Z. megastoma, had the 

 shape of shallow-water representatives of that species. In the Irish 

 deep-water collections the unspotted examples are shaped similarly to 

 shallow-water Z. megastoma, and the spotted examples show some 

 distinction in shape from South European Z. Bosci. If the two 

 species are really distinct, their definition requires more care than has 

 been hitherto bestowed upon it.
