40 Goode and Bean— East-coast Fishes. 
which was founded on Storer’s Pleuronectes dentaia, has no 
‘characters by which it may be distinguished from Hippoglos- 
soides, and it should be set aside. Hippoglossoides limandoides 
is a deep water species found constantly with the preeeding, 
5. Pleuronectes glaber (Storer) Gill. 
As arule, the female may be distinguished from the male — 
by its smooth scales, especially in the breeding season, and by | 
its greater size. Gravid females were received from Salem, — 
Massachusetts, January 10, 1878. The eggs are one-thirtieth — 
of an inch in diameter. (Bean.) 
6. Ancylopsetta quadrocellata Gill. 
Of this species, which was described from Pensacola, Florida, — 
and not elsewhere recorded, Professor 8. F. Baird obtained two — 
specimens in Charleston Market, South Carolina, April, 1877. 
7. Reinhardtius hippoglossoides (Walb.) Gill. 
The southern range of this Arctic species has been extended 
to latitude 42° N. Fishermen take them frequently in the | 
gully between Le Have and George’s Banks, at depths greater | 
than 200 fathoms. They appear to inhabit the abrupt oceanic | 
slopes of the banks beyond and below the range of the halibut; | 
this fact, together with the uniform dark coloration of the under — 
side of the body, seems to indicate that its habits differ from _ 
those of other pleuronectoid fishes. 
8. Chenopsetta oblonga (Mitch.) Gill. 
One specimen was trawled August 15, 1878, in the harbor of a 
Gloucester. It has not previously been recorded in Massachu- 4 
setts Bay except at Provincetown, where Captain Atwood 
observe 
obtained it in 1846, and where it has since been occasionally ‘

9. Macrurus Bairdii Goode and Bean. 
The unique specimen of this species has been supplemented 
by three additional ones captured August 27, 1878, forty-two _ 
miles off Eastern Point Light (Cape Ann), E. 2S., in 175 fath-— 
oms, which is within two or three miles of the locality at which 
the type was secured. 
10. Macrurus rupestris Bloch. 
Many specimens have been brought in by fishermen whose 
testimony is that it is abundant in the deep waters on George's | 
8. 
and the more northern bank 
11. Phycis Chesterit Goode and Bean. 
Three specimens of a new species of Phycis were caught in- 
the trawl-net thirty-three to forty-two miles E. by S. from _ 
Cape Ann in 110 to 140 fathoms. The largest measured —
