interorbital width. Maxillaiy about reaching vertical from posterior margin of eye, 

 100 to 110 rays in the dorsal fin, 70 to 80 in the anal, 8 to 10 in the caudal; origin 

 of dorsal above base of pectoral, of anal If to 2 head-lengths behind head. Pectoral | 

 the length of head. Brownish ; abdomen pale ; on side of head a sharp line between 

 the dark brown above and pale yellow below, with the brown projecting downwards on 

 the cheek as a bar ; a pale transverse band across nape, another above end of pectoral 

 extending on to dorsal fin, which may be followed by similar bands or spots. 



Chile ; Patagonia ; Falkland Islands. 



Here described from a large series of specimens measuring up to 250 mm. in total 

 length, including several obtained by the Scotia at Station 118, Port Stanley, 

 Falkland Islands, 



(2) Austrolycus platei. 

 Lycodes {Phucocoates) platei, Steind., Zool. Jahrb., Suppl. iv. p. 320, pi. xix. fig. 8 (1897-98). 



Evidently closely related to the preceding species, diff"ering in that the length of 

 the head is | its distance from the vent, the tail is considerably longer than the head 

 and trunk (only a little longer in A. depressiceps), and the coloration is diff"erent, the 

 body being marked with broad cross bands, the interspaces between which correspond 

 to the pale bands or spots on the back and dorsal fin of A. depressiceps. 



Chile, Cape Espiritu Santo. 



Total length 234 mm. 



This may be the Phucoccetes variegatus macropus of Smitt [Bihang Svensk. Vet.- 

 Akad., xxiv., 1898, iv., No. 5, p. 44, pi. v. fig. 35).

ZooL ''Beagle;' Fish., p. 168 (1842). 



Head and body compressed. Mouth subterminal ; teeth conical, uniserial in upper 

 jaw and on palatines, bi- or tri-serial in lower jaw ; anterior pair of teeth in upper jaw, 

 middle vomerine tooth, and 1 or 2 pairs in lower jaw more or less enlarged and canine- 

 like. Gill-opening small, above base of pectoral. Dorsal origin just behind head ; pelvic 

 fins present. 



Phucoccetes latitans, Jenyns, I.e., pi. xxix. fig. 3. 



Lycodes flavus, Bouleng., Ami. Mag. Nat. Hist. (7), vi., 1900, p. 53. 



Depth of body 8 to 10 in the length, length of head 6^ to 7. Snout 1| as long as 

 diameter of eye, which is 6 to 7 in length of liead, greater than interorbital width. 

 Lower jaw included ; maxillary extending to below posterior part of eye. Dorsal with 



* Garman {Mem. Mus. Gomp. Zool, xxiv , 1899, p. 1.37) has described a fish from 16° N., 99° W., 660 fathoms, and 

 has named it Phucoccetes suspectus. It is not a Phucoccetes, nor does it seem to be congeneric with any of the 

 southern littoral forms.
