Notes on Recent Fish Literature. — Dr. Louis Dollo, of Brussels, 
describes a new genus of trachinoid fishes collected by M. E.G. 
Racovitza, naturalist of the Belgian Antarctic Commission. To it 
he applies the name of Cryodraco antarcticus. The type came 
from a depth of 450 meters, in the Antarctic Ocean (Lat. 71° 22'S. 
Long. 88° 38' W.). 
Mr. Edgar W. Waite gives an account of an “ oarfish,” or “ king 
of the herrings ” (Regalecus glesne ?), taken near Port Jackson in Aus- 
tralia.’ The species of this rare and interesting deep-water gene 
have not been adequately determined, and Mr. Waite's paper vill 
prove valuable for future comparisons. 
In the Anales del Museo Nacional de Buenos Aires Dr. Carlos 
Berg publishes valuable notes on various fishes — Exomegas, Poly- 
prion, Curimata, Ilisha, Crenicichla, etc. He shows that the name 
Jlisha orbignyana should replace that of Misha flavipinnis, adopted 
by Jordan and Evermann. The identity of Cottoperca rosenbergt 
with Aphritis gobio is also shown, the species standing as Coto- 
perca gobio.

Dr. L. Berg, of the University of Moscow, has publis 
in Russian 
Proceedings of the Caucasian Museum at 'Tiflis an account, 
and in German, of the fishes collected by Dr. G. Radde, director of 
the museum at Tiflis. Thirty-one species are included, one of them 
being regarded as a new “ variety."
