SCYLLIIDJE. 



Pristiurus melanostomus (Raf.). 

 Station 21. 58° 19' N., 8° 51' W. 191 fathoms. Sand. Bottom 

 temperature, 9 - 6° C. One, 565 millimetres. 



RAIIDiE. 



Raia circularis (Couch — sensu sti-icto). 



Station 19. 58° 28' N., 8° 29' W. 180 fathoms. Sand. One, 

 165 millimetres. (A . second skate, of about the same size, not

 temperature, 9 "6° C. One, young. 



Raia nwvus 1 (Midler and Henle).

Station 23. 58° 49' N., 6° 35' W. 72 fathoms. Shells and sand. 

 One, 73 millimetres across disc, with well-marked ocelli. 



The depth at which this specimen was taken is worthy of note, as 

 R. ncevus is, in our experience, usually a littoral species not commonly 

 ranging bevond about the 40-fathom line. 



ScOPELIDiE. 



Scopelus glacialis (Rheinhardt). 



Station 8. 60° 18' N., 4° 43' W. 330 fathoms. Gravel and shells. 

 Two, 67 and 55 millimetres (without caudal fins), were brought up by 

 the dredge ; there was nothing to show at what depth they entered 

 the net. 



MACRUEIDiE. 



Macrurus Icevis (Lowe). 



Station 19. 58° 28' N., 8° 29' W. 180 fathoms. Sand. Two, 

 325 millimetres and 235 millimetres. 



1 This is the only name which seems to us to have been first applied to the 

 familiar cuckoo ray.
