ScHARFF — On Some Irish Fishes.

Saloporphyrus eques, Giinther. One specimen 12|- in. long, from 750 
fathoms, Station 69. Specimens of this fish have been obtained 
by the Knight Errant^ in the Faroe Channel, in 530 fathoms. 
Macrurus coelorhynchus, E-isso. One specimen from 345 fathoms, 
Station 67. This is a common Mediterranean deep-sea fish ; but it 
has also been obtained at Madeira ; and Collett believes that a 
specimen found in the stomach of a cod, near Bergen, belongs to 
this species. 
Scald Pish — Arnoglossus laterna^ Walb. Two specimens from 33 fa- 
thoms. Station 2, and one from 24 fathoms, Station 71. 
Variegated Sole — Solea variegata^ Donov. One specimen from 50 
fathoms, Station 75. 
Stomias (sp. ?). 
Two small deep-sea fishes, from 1080 fathoms, belong to the genus 
Stomias. There is a double row of about 80 luminous spots between 
the head and the caudal fin. These are too young for specific identi- 
fication ; but they undoubtedly belong to the genus Stomias. A species 
closely resembling these two specimens has been known for some time 
from the Mediterranean, and is figured in Cuvier and Valencienne's 
Hist. JVat, des Poissons. 
Bathytroctes (?). 
One specimen, from 1080 fathoms, Station 68, I referred to a new 
genus, owing to the complete absence of scales. However, Dr. Giinther, 
to whom I submitted this and the two last-mentioned specimens, con- 
siders it too young for specific or generic determination. 
I have since re-examined it, and found no trace of reproductive 
organs, so that it may be assumed that the specimen is an immature 
fish, which at present cannot, with certainty, be referred to any par- 
ticular genus. There is no doubt that it belongs to the typical deep- 
sea family, Alepocephalidae.
