ADYP^RTISEMENT.
This work (Special Bulletin No. 2) is one of a series of papers intended to illustrate the collections belonging to, or placed in charge of, the Smithsonian Institution, and deposited in the United States National Museum.
The publications of the National Museum consist of two series — the Bulletin and the Proceedings. A small edition of each paper in the Proceedings is distributed in pamphlet form to specialists in advance of the publication of the bound volume. The Bulletin is issued only in volumes. Most of the volumes hitherto published have been octavos, but a quarto form has been adopted for works of the size and character of the present Bulletin, this being No. 2 in the quarto scries.
The Bulletin of the United States National Museum, the publication of which was commenced in 1875, consists of elaborate papers based upon the collections of the Museum, reports of expeditions, etc. The Proceedings are intended to facilitate the -pi,ompt publi- cation of freshly acquired tacts relating to biology, anthropology, and geology, descriptions of restricted groups of animals and plants, discussions of particular questions relative to the synonymy of species, and the diaries of minor expeditions.
Other papers of more general popular interest are printed in the appendix to the annual report.
Papers intended for publication in the Proceedings and Bulletin of the United States National Museum are referred to the advisory committee on publications, composed as follows: Frederick W. True (chairman), R. Edward'Earll (editor), James E.Benedict, Otis T. Mason, Leonhard Stejneger, and Lester P. Ward.

OCEANIC ICHTI I YOLOGY.
INTRODUCTION.
Orn purpose bus been to present in Oceanic Ichthyology a discussion of all forms
of fisbes found in the seas of tbe world, both pelagic species and those occurring at deptbs greater than 500 feet, especial prominence being given to those species which arc found in tbe Atlantic Ocean, most of which we have bad opportunity to study. All oceanic fishes are included, partly because it is not yet possible to distinguish strictly between the two classes, and partly because the pelagic forms have, in part at least, been mentioned in the discussions by all previous writers on " deep-sea fishes."
By Oceanic fishes we mean those deep sea and pelagic species which dwell in the open ocean tar from the shore, either at the surface, at the bottom, beyond a depth of 500 feet, or, if such fishes there be, the intermediate zones.
Oceanic Ichthyology is that branch of ichthyology which is concerned with their study.
Deep-sea fishes are those which are found at a depth of 1,000 feet or more, without reference to the question whether or not they also occur in shallower water. The limit of 500 feet is taken for convenience in the study of the origin of local deep-sea faunas. The limit of 100 fathoms is that ordinarily in use. Tbe Eeports of the Challenger class as '•deep-sea deposits" all those below 100 fathoms depth. Tbe zone between the litteral zone, and the bathybial zones, 500-1000 feet, is called the '•hcmibathybial zone"
rdagic fishes are those which live far from laud and at a distance from the bottom, rarely approaching the shore except when driven by wind or current. It is these which are most closely associated with the "Plankton," and were included in it before the mean- ing of the term, as proposed by Hensen, was limited by ILeckel. Home of these, which occur at considerable depths, we call "bathy pelagic."
We cannot claim that in the present memoir we have brought forward any conclusions which are new to science, though a great number of new facts are recorded. We hope, however, that we have succeeded in the attempt to bring the information which we have ourselves been able to obtain into proper relationship with the mass of similar knowledge already recorded, and that our descriptions are so accurate and full that the deterioration or loss of the material studied, much of which was in very fragmentary and precarious con- dition when it came to us, may not be entirely disastrous. We have tried to assemble all existing data about oceanic fishes and to arrange them in such a manner that they may be serviceable to naturalists in other. fields for comparison and study, as well as to ichthyolo- gists for ready reference, when at a distance from the rather extensive group of books which must now be consulted even for the casual identification of a deep-sea fish. We have also endeavored to sum up the conclusions reached by previous students before incorporating our own results with those of our predecessors.*
Note.— I have in preparation and shall booh publish an extended Btudyofthe geographical distribution
of deep-sea and pelagic fishes, and of the, origin of the several bathybial iisli faunas.

IV INTRODUCTION.
When this volume was begun, it was not intended to include so large a field within its scope, but unexpected delays have brought us to a time when there is an entire discontinu- ance of deep-sea work, and when the final ichthyological results of all past expeditions have been published.
In 1885 Prof. Collett, of the University of Christiania, published a volume upon the fishes of the Norwegian North Sea Expedition. In 1887 Dr. Gunther, of the British Museum, published his great work on " The Deep-Sea Fishes of the Challenger Expedition ". In 1888 Dr. Yaillant, of the Museum of Natural History in Paris, reported upon the Deep-Sea Fishes of the Travailleur and Talisman Expedition, and in the same year Mr. Alexander Agassiz presented his admirable "Contributions to American Thalassography", in which, for the first time, were presented in compact form the results of the ichthyological work of the Coast Survey and the Fish Commission.
These four magnificent works, together with the various short papers since published by American and Scandinavian naturalists and by Mr. S. Alcock upon the deep-sea fishes of India, relate to a group of animals concerning which, until recently, naturalists knew almost nothing.
The study of oceanic ichthyology is still in its infancy and yet many very remarkable results have been obtained. Although not more than 600(f) different kinds of lishes have been obtained from the depth of 1,000 feet and more, it would appear that a very good general idea of the character of the fauna has already been acquired. This is indicated by the fact that fishes are constantly being rediscovered in the most remote localities. A form obtained by Lowe in Madeira in 1870 was rediscovered by us off the New England coasl in 1881, and by German naturalists in the Japanese Sea in L879, by the Blake near Barbadoes in 1880, and a year or two later jff the coast of Soudan. Several previously known only from New Zealand have been obtained by the Fish Commission off the New England coast, and some of our own genera and species have lately been discovered in tin- Bay of Bengal.
Although the capture of certain individual forms in widely remote localities in the oceanic abyss might l>e interpreted to mean that the field has been somewhat fully explored, and that it is now being gone over a second or third time, such an interpretation would be misleading. Our knowledge of abyssal life is still exceedingly imperfect. New species and genera are obtained every time the nets are lowered to the bottom in an untried spot. Very many forms have been taken in only one locality, and are represented in the museums by unique specimens, so that the ichthyologist has not material enough to enable him to study the structure of the organisms to which he has given a name. Then, too, the appliances for the capture of the fishes of any region, especially those which are believed to live suspended in the middle strata of mid-ocean, are so imperfect, and the like- lihood is great that there are many forms so organized that they can not well be taken by small slow-moving nets, that naturalists will surely fall into error if they suppose themselves in possession of anything like an adequate equipment for a final study of the subject.
It seems probable that there are many inhabitants of the depths which are too swift, too wary and cunning, or too large thus to be taken. It cannot be doubted, for example, that somewhere in the sea, at an unknown distance below the surface, there are living certain fish-like animals, unknown to science and of great size, which come occasionally to the surface and give a foundation to such stories as those of the sea serpent.
To appreciate the meager extent of our knowledge of what is going on in mid-ocean it is only necessary to think of such a fish as Ghiasmodon and its history. Ghiasmodon is one of those grotesque looking pelagic fishes with yawning, flexible jaws and a vastly distensible stomach, which is able to engorge other fishes equal, or more than equal, in size to itself. This practice is naturally attended by disaster, and the Ghiasmodon, in the event of death, is brought to the surface by the expansion of the gases in its tissues. Such accidents evidently happen very often. The chances were few. nevertheless, that waifs of this kind should fall into the hands of naturalists, and yet within forty years Ghiasmodon
INTRODUCTION. V
has occurred five times. ' In I lie other hand, Chiasmodon, although so abundant, lias only once been taken by the deep-sea nets.
Another ocean dweller which the exploring ships have not yet discovered is Regalecus, or the "Oar-fish," a serpent shaped, rapidly swimming form, usually from 18 to 24 feel in length, which occasionally is stranded on the shore in the storms season. Within the pasi one hundred and fifty years individuals have visited the shores of Nor way, Fininark, the Faroe Islands, Scotland. Ireland, England, Mediterranean, Prance, Bermuda, the Oapeof Good Hope, Hindustan, and New Zealand. Gunther gives a list of 44 seen by naturalists, and this is of course hut an insignificant pari of those which have actually been stranded. Its world wide distribution and the number of wait's give evidence that it is abundant in mid-ocean, yet the exploring ships in all the years of their combined searchings have found no vestiges of it, old or young.
Many similar eases might be cited, but our object is simply to call attention to the great necessity for further exploration of the depths.
The distinctions between the inhabitants of deep water, those of the middle depths, and those of the surface strata of mid-ocean are not yet absolutely tixed. Such are the imperfections in the methods of trawling and dredging that the naturalist, when he has sorted out the fishes from his nets after a haul in mid ocean, is often in doubt as to where his captures have been made. If he has taken a flounder from a haul of 800 fathoms, or finds a macrurid, a brotulid, a stomiatid, a synodontid, or a neinichthyid in a net which has been below the 2,000-fathom line, he feels reasonably sure that he has brought it up from the bottom. But who shall say where Argyropeleeus, Stemoptyx, Myctopkum, having allies among the pelagic fishes in the same net, have come from? It may be from the bottom, or they may have become entangled in the meshes of the trawl when but a few fathoms from the surface, coming up or going down.
The recent investigations of Mr. Agassiz in the Pacific, with the Tanner net, seem to show pretty conclusively that there are but few living forms belowT a depth of 1,80b or 2,000 feet and that the Myctophidce stay for the most part, if not entirely, between that depth and the surface. It is possible to draw inferences from the experiments in regard to many forms which, like the Myctophidce, are known frequently to occur swimming at the surface at night, but there are also doubtful cases, like Bathyophis, Bhodichthys, Microstoma, and many others, which need further consideration.
Another greatneed is for more, and more perfect, material. Fully one-half of the deep sea forms are now represented only by single specimens, and many important anatomical questions can not be solved, because these uniques may not be sacrificed to dissection. Half of the families of Malacopterygians mentioned in this report can not be assigned to their proper places, because their skeletons have not been fully examined.
Besides this, the imperfection of the existing specimens is a great drawback. The material is of a kind which it is peculiarly difficult to study. Not only are the forms strange and difficult to assign to their proper taxonomic relationships, but, owing to the soft, cavernous skeletons, and the flabby muscles, tender skins, deciduous scales, and fragile appendages which are characteristic of many of them, they are very liable to injury. After these delicate animals have been drawn up from a depth of 2 or 3 miles in rough nets, they are, as might be expected, in a very dilapidated condition. It has often been found neces- sary to examine a score of more of individuals, in order to be able to appreciate characters which could commonly be made out from a single specimen.
The Studies which have led to the writing of this book were begun in the summer of 1 s T 7 . when the first deep-sea fishes \w\i- caught by American nets on the coast of North America. This took place in the Gulf of Maine, 4 1 miles cist of < Sape Ann, on the L9th of August, when from the side of the I". S. Pish Commission steamer Speedwell the trawl net was cast in L60 fathoms of water. The writers were both standing by the mouth of the net when, as the seaman lifted the end of the bag, two strange forms fell out on the deck. A single glance was enough to tell us that they were new to our fauna, and probably unkuow n to science. They seemed like visitors from another world, and none of the strange forms

which have since passed through our laboratory have brought half as much interest and enthusiasm. Macrurus Bairdii and Lycodes Verrillii were simply new species of well- known deep-dwelling genera, and have since been found to be very abundant on the con- tinental slope, but they were among the tirst fruits of that great harvest in the field of oceanic ichthyology which we have had the pleasure of helping to garner in the fifteen years which have passed since that happy and eventful morning. It seems incredible that American naturalists should not then have known that a few miles away there was a fauna as unlike that of our coast as could be found in the Indian Ocean or the seas of China.
It should be remembered that although the Challenger has been back more than a year from her long cruise, her treasures were as yet undescribed, and that no one knew what a marvelous wealth of material she had gathered except the naturalists on board. Even they can scarcely have expected that year after year the great quarto volumes of these final reports would continue to be printed, until to-day there are forty of them — the magnificent outcome of the most liberally equipped exploring expedition ever sent out by any nation. Oceanic ichthyology was as yet unborn.
A year later Dr. (liinther began to publish the preliminary descriptions of the Chal- lenger fishes in the London Annals and Magazine of Natural History, and a new interest was added to the study of ichthyology. From that time until now we have never been without a wealth of attractive oceanic material for study, and the genera and species announced by us from the western Atlantic have been more in number than those brought back by the Challenger, yet the discoveries made in those earliest years have always seemed the most interesting.
It may be asked how it happened that no deep-sea fishes had been taken by the Coast Survey vessels which began dredging in 1867, or by those of the Fish Commission which began in 1871. The answer is a simple one. The Fish Commission vessels were small, and did not venture outside of the hundred fathom line until 1877, and the Coast Survey in those days collected with the dredge only. When Mr. Agassi/, took charge of the bio- logical work of the Coast Survey, in 1877, he introduced the trawl net, and began to collect fishes, but these did not come into our hands uutil 1883. The nets were not really per- fected until 1883, when the Albatross and the Travailleur began their cruises.
In 1878 the headquarters of the Fish Commission was at Gloucester, and we began to receive from the Cape Ann fishermen deep-sea forms taken by them on the off-shore banks. In this way came our Haloporphyrus viola and Lycodes paxillus, brought by Capt. J. W. Collins, then of the halibut schooner Marion and since well-known by his writings upon the fisheries; our Argentina syrlensium, G. & B. (since identified with A. situs of Europe); Lycodes Vahlii, a Greenland form, brought by Capt. Hawkins, of the schooner Gwendolen : Anarrhiehas lati/rons, Alepidosaurus ferox, Alepocephalus Bairdii, G. & B.; Synaphobranchus pinnatus, Simenchelys parasiticus, Gill; Chinuvra plumbea, Gill (=ajfinis, Boc. &Cap.); Cen- troscyllium Fdbrieii and Gentroscymnus aelolepis, Echiostoma barbatum, Ghauliodus Sloanei, Reinhardtius Mppoglossoides, Macrurus rupestris, Lopholatilus chamceleonticeps, G-. & B. — all received in time to be catalogued in our Fishes of Essex County, Massachusetts, published in 1879, together with Phycis Chesteri, G, & B., and Eumicrotremus spinosus, obtained in the same year by the Fish Commission vessels.
In 1880 the Fish Commission began its explorations of the Gulf Stream off the south coast of New England. Dr. Bean was on the Pacific coast and the following were described by Dr. Goode: Monolene sessilicauda, Citharichthys arctifrons, C. unicornis, Thyris pellucidus, Hypsicometes gobioides, Peristedium miniatum, Macrurus carminatus, Halieutaea senticosa, Limanda Beanii, Amitra liparina, Cottunculus forms, Setarches parmatus, Chlorophtlialmus chalybeius, Wotacanthusphasganorus, Monolene, Hypsicometes, and Amitra being new genera, and Mancalias uranoscopus, Ghaunax pictus, and Cottunculus Thomsoni were added to the fauna.
Apogon pandionis and Benthodesmus elongatus were found in the same year.
In 1881 we undertook, at the request of Prof. Baird and Mr. Agassiz, to produce a work upon the fishes of the Coast Survey and the Fish Commission together, ami discon-

tinued the publication of preliminary descriptions, it being our hope toprinl a final memoir upon them without much delay. It was not until 1891, however, that we were able to
complete our studies, the illness and death of Prof. Baird having interrupted the work and thrown upon each of us new responsibilities w hich left little time at our command.
We had. however, prepared for Mr. Agassiz preliminary reports u] the deep sea fishes
of the Blake, taken in 1880 (published in L883), and upon those taken in 1878 and l.sT'.i (pub- lished in issili, and had also furnished the notes upon the fishes for his general work. Three < 'raises of the Blake. Besides the Blake fishes of 1878-'79-'80, we eon tinned to receive those from the Albatross until that vessel passed into the Pacific in 1888. Her more recent collec- tions are being worked up by Prof. C. 11. Gilbert and by Dr. Bean, who is studying those of the Alaskan seas, and by Mr. < larman, who is reporting upon thoseobtained off the west coast of Central America, partly made under the direction of Mr. Agassiz in 1891.
The \\ ork, as it now appears, is in many respects very unsatisfactory to its authors. It has been written at odd hours snatched from administrative duties, too often in the very midst of them — always under the pressure of haste, and always with the feeling of impa- tience that more exhaustive studies could not be made. Later, serious illness delayed its printing.
As first planned it was to include only the oceanic fishes of the east coast of North America, but it, gradually expanded to embrace all those species of the Atlantic Basin and all the oceanic genera of the world.
It was first ready for the press in 1885, then revised and rewritten in 1888, then again in 1891, and again in 18'J1 as it was going through the press.
The appearance of Giinther's final reports upon the Challenger fishes, 1SS7. of Yaillant's upon those of the Travailleur in 1888, of Alcoek's Investigator papers in 1889-1892, of Col- lett's Hirondelle notes in 1889, have each, in their turn, caused much revision and rewrit- ing, and the appearance of Liitken's Spolia Atlantiea, Part II, printed in 1892, has made it necessary to reset a number of pages.
In its present form it stands as a compendium and summary of existing knowledge in regard to Oceanic Ichthyology. No one knows when there will be opportunity for its further study. There are no expeditions and there seems to be no prospect for new ones. Even the A Ibatross, built by the United States expressly for this servicers diverted to police duty about the Seal Islands.
Public interest is sated by the crude preliminary results already obtained. The scien- tific world knows that the knowledge of to-day, in all branches of thalassographic work, is incomplete and rudimentary in the extreme, and that, with the experience now acquired, the results of future exploration will be immensely greater. We can only hope for a renaissance in this field.
In making acknowledgments to those who have aided in this work, we think first of our dear friend, the late Prof. Baird, of the pains with which he provided every facility, and of the interest with which, twice a day, when studies were in progress, he came to the laboratory to talk over the discoveries and discuss them. To his successor as Commissioner of Fisheries, Col. McDonald, we owe the granting of every request we have made, and our requests have been many. To Mr. Alexander Agassiz we are likewise indebted for coin tesies many and great, not the least of which is the patience with which lie has waited ten years for a report which was promised in three. To Prof. Theodore Gill we offer our thanks for counsel and information, lavishly and ungrudgingly bestowed, out of the fullness of his ichthyological wisdom. To Commander Z. L. Tanner, U. S. N., in command of the Albatross, and Mr. J. E. Benedict, naturalist of the ship, much is due for the manner in which the collections were gathered and preserved. To Dr. Giinther we owe inspiration and kindly advice; to Dr. Sauvage, of the Museum of Natural History in Paris, to Dr. Liitken, to Prof. Collett and to Dr. Alcock, to Dr. Bilgendorf, President Jordan, and Mr. Carman, frequent letters and the use of specimens; to Prof. Giglioli, the use of his matchless collection of Italian vertebrates, among which were the fishes collected by the steamer Washington in the Mediterranean. Capt. H. T. Brian, of the Government
VIII INTRODUCTION.
Printing Office, has also aided materially in the work by his advice. Mr. Barton A. Bean has aided in the handling of the collections and illustrations and measurement of speci- mens, and Mr. J. L. Willige has rendered useful service in the preparation of the tables of locality and distribution and in proof reading.
Only twenty years ago the fish fauna of the deep sea was represented in collections by forty or fifty specimens, representing not more than twenty species at the most — acci- dental waifs picked up at the surface or cast ashore by the waves — "like the few stray bodies of strange red men which tradition reports to have been washed on the shores of the Old World before the discovery of the New, and which served to indicate the existence of unexplored realms inhabited by unknown races, but not to supply information about their character, habits, and history." '
If the coming twenty years shall produce one-tenth so much in the way of discovery in
the life of the deep seas, it will be more than it now seems reasonable to expect.

Class MARSIPOBRANCHII.
Startipobranchii, Bonaparte, Trans. I. inn. Soc. London, v. is, pp. 289, 304, 1841. Marsipobranchia, Gill, Johnson's Cyclopaedia, m, 310. Dermopteri (part), Owex, Anatomy of Vertebrates, i, 7.
Skeleton of a very inferior type, the notochord or embryonal vertebral column being persistent. Skull rudimentary and represented by a small brain case and capsules for the organs of sense (auditory and olfactory), as well as by an ethmovonierine plate: the inferior appendages developed as elements designated as the "subocular arch." with a metapterygoid or "superior quadrate" and an "inferior quadrate" portion, the "palato pterygoid" element, and the "stylohyal process;" labial cartilages form also a prominent feature of the skull; bones or cartilages, representing the upper as well as the lower jaws. entirely wanting; the branchial apparatus sustained by a basket like skeleton; no limbs developed, and no scapular arch or pelvic girdle. Brain small hut distinctly developed, differentiated into the brain proper and medulla oblongata; the former composed, as in the higher forms, of the "mesencephalon," "thalamencephalon," "prosencephalon," and "rhinen- cephalon;" the latter small, with a fourth ventricle conspicuous from above, and the "cere- bellum" very rudimentary. Auditory apparatus quite simple, represented by a single mem branous tube without any differentiation into canals and vestibules, as in the Hyperotreta, or, at most, as in the Hyperoartia, with two semicular canals and a sacculated vestibule. Olfactory apparatus consists of a median sac: is provided with but a single external aper- ture. Heart distinctly developed and divided into an auricle and ventricle, the former hav- ing in front a venous sinus, ami the whole inclosed in a " pericardium," which connects with the peritoneal cavity. Intestinal canal simple; liver specialized as such, and kidneys well developed, with ureters opening behind into the rectum. Organs of generation without ducts, discharging into the abdomen, from which the products depart by an abdominal pore.
The species of the class are found in both fresh and salt waters, the Petromyzontids having members in the fresh and salt waters of all temperate and subtemperate countries: while the Myxinoids are represented in the cold waters of tin; northern hemisphere by Mi/. rinc, as well as along the shores of a considerable portion of the Pacific — in the Japanese and Chinese seas, California, Chile, and Australia.

Although no representatives of the class have been found in a fossil condition, their absence in the older strata is undoubtedly due rather to the difficulty connected with the preservation of the readily destructible cartilaginous skeleton than to their actual absence. It is indeed probable that the order was extensively represented in past times and that it was more abundautly developed than any other type. (Gill.)
Order HYPEROTRETA.
Cyelostomata hyperotreta, Mcller, Abhandl. Akad. Wiss. Hyperotreta. Gill, .lohnson's Cyclopaedia, n, 1079.
An order of marsipobranchiates characterized by the construction of the cranial carti- lages and the complete tabulation of the median nasal aperture, and its perforation of the palate (hence the name). The branchial apertures are developed on each side far behind the head, and arc variable in number: the inner branchial ducts communicate directly with the esophagus; the ova arc large and each is provided with an oval horny case con- stricted at both ends, and with numerous filaments thereto. The embryology is still unknown. In the adult condition the mouth has no lips and no plates on the disk, but a median tooth is above the entrance of the esophagus, and two pectinifonn rows of teeth on the tongue.
The order is composed of two families: (1) Myxinidce, with one geuus, Myxine, repre- sented by species in the northern and southern hemispheres; and (2) Bdellostomidce, whose species are confined to the Pacific Ocean, one of them ascending as far northward as Cali- fornia. (Gill.)
Family MYXINIDCE.

MYXINE, Linnseus.
Myxine, I. inn i:cs, System:! Naturae, ed. x, 1. 1758, 650 I type, Myxine glutinosa, L.).
Body eel shaped, covered by a thin loose skin ; two rows of mucous glands along the lower side. Eyes absent. Skull little developed, cartilaginous. Mouth lipless, suctorial, with barbels on each side. Nostril single, median, at front of head, with two pairs of barbels. Teeth strong, a single one on the roof of the mouth, and two rows on each side uf the tongue. < 4 ill sacs at the sides of esophagus near the left branchial opening; a third opening to esophagus and the branchial sacs. Ovary single, on right side. No oviducts.
MYXINE GLCTINoSA, Lixx.s:is. (Figure 1.) Myxine glutinosa, Linn., Syst. Nat., ed. x. i. 65 i; ed. xn, 1080. — Gunther, Cat. Fish. Brit. Mus., vm. 510.
A Myxine with 8-11 rather slender lingual teeth in each row, the two foremost strongest and more confluent at the base thau the others. Length of head contained 3i to 4 times in total length ; tail 6 J to 10 times. Color grayish brown to bluish brown above, whitish below.
Linmvus included Myxine among his '• Vermes Intestinal placing it between the leeches and the shipworms, and described its habits briefly as follows: "IntreU etdevorat pisces; aquam in gluten mutat," and this sentence expresses nearly all that is known about the habits of the animal at the present time. It may be said, however, that it is found only in waters of low temperature, probably always below 50°, and that on account of its parasitic habits its capture is not likely to be effected except in connection with some larger fish on which it is preying. Its presence, therefore, is not certain to be detected by the trawl and dredge. The "slime-eel," as it is called, frequently penetrates into the abdominal cavity of other fishes to feed upon their flesh. It secretes thick, glutinous slime, in enormous quan-

tities and with wonderful rapidity. A single hag will till a two-gallon bucket with slime mingled with water in a few .seconds, and after a slight interval can repeat the operation with ease. The ei:u's are elliptical in shape, and are supplied at each end with numerous short threads for adhesion. Nansen has made an exceedingly interesting investigation into the hermaphroditism of this form.
Myxine occurs only in the North Atlantic. On the coasts of Europe it is found in the Nor- wegian Fiords as deep as 70 fathoms, and it ranges as far south as Newcastle and the Firth of Forth. In the western Atlantic it is known to occur on the offshore banks as far north as the Grand Bank of Newfoundland, and probably still farther north through the Arctic Sea; and it also occurs on the shoals in the Hay of Fundy, one of the best known colonies being on the cod bank to the eastward of the north end of the island of Grand Man an. The fishermen of the offshore banks frequently pull them to the surface clinging to the fish taken on their hooks. In the deeper waters of the western Atlantic they have been found as far south as lat. 38° 31', Ion. 73° 25', off the capes of Delaware by the Fish Commis- sion at a depth of 126 fathoms, and off Cape Fear, North Carolina, lat. 34°, Ion. 76° 10', at a depth of 178 fathoms. Off Marthas Vineyard they have been found by the Fish Com- mission at a depth of 264 fathoms, with a temperature of 47°, and farther out at sea in the same region by the Blake at 304 fathoms (lat. 40° 11' 40", Ion. 68° 22'), and 524 fathoms (lat. 41° 32', Ion. 65° 55').
The form is so abundant off the New England coast in depths of 100 to 250 fathoms that a record of all the localities of its occurrence has not been kept. It is known, however, that specimens were obtained from the following stations of the Blake: 309, 306, and 327; and also from the following stations of the Fish Commission steamers: 8G9, 870, 871, 878, 939, 951, 1038, 1047, 1154, 2080, 20SX, 2089, 2092.

A Myxine with ten or eleven slender teeth in each of the two series; the three foremost strongest and confluent at the base, the other teeth remaining separate; in the second series the two innermost teeth are confluent at the base.
,1/. australis was first described from Sandy Point and the Tyssen Island, at the south- ern extremity of .South America. It. was found by the Challenger in the Japanese Sea, where six specimens from 9 to 20 inches in length were taken on the Hyalonema ground at a depth of 345 fathoms (Station 232). Dr. Giinther isof the opinion that Heptatrema oirrha- tum Schlegel, from Japan, should be referred to the same species. The Challenger obtained specimens of M. australis from the Straits of Magellan, and the species is most probably an inhabitant of the deeper waters to the east of Patagonia, and entitled to a place in the fauna of the Atlantic basin.
Order HYPEROARTIA.
Cyclostomata hyperoartia, Miller, Abhandl. Akad. Wiss., Berlin, 1834, 77. Ryperoartia, Gill, Johnson's Cyclopaedia, n, 1079.
Au order of Marsipobranchiates distinguished by the development of the skull and the eoecal nature of the median external nasal aperture; no duct perforating the palate, which is, therefore, left entire (whence the name). The branchial apertures are on each side behind the head, and seven in number; the inner branchial duets debouch into a separate common tube. The ova are small and superficially like those of fishes. The young undergo a complete metamorphosis after leaving the egg. The larva' have an elongated slit-like mouth, and are without teeth or eyes. In this condition they were formerly considered to be members of a peculiar group (Ammocoetes). At maturity the mouth is circular, surrounded

by a lip, and armed with dentigerous lamella- on its disk, as well as with lingual teeth; enlarged plates above and below the antrum of the esophagus have been called maxillary and mandibular, but they have no hoinological relation with the upper and lower jaws of ordinary fishes, and the lower jaw in them is absolutely wanting.
This order embraces only a single family of existing species (the Petromyzontidce or lampreys), of which there are at least five genera, three of which are represented in North America. (Gill.)

Specimens of a Petromyzon apparently not specifically distinct from P. marinm, have been obtained from several localities at considerable depths. The Fish Commission trawled it off Cape Ann at station 189, in 85 fathoms, and at 192 in 100 fathoms, and also at station 946, off Marthas Vineyard (lat. 39° 5.')', Ion. 71° 14'), at a depth of 217 fathoms, and bottom temperature of 17°. The occurrence of this form at so great a depth is interesting in con- nection with the record of the following species, P. Bairdii.
PETKOMYZON (Bathv.myzox) BAIRDII, Gill.
Petromyzon (Bathymyzon) Bairdii, Gill, Forest and Stream, xxi. Ann. 30, 1883; Proc. U. S. Nat.Mus., vi, 1883, 254.
This form of lamprey was described by Gill from a single specimen (Nat. Mus., No. 33311), obtained by the U. S. Fish Commission at station 2018 (lat. 40° 02' 00", Ion. 68 50' 30"), at a depth of 517 fathoms. No specific characters were mentioned except those enumerated above under the generis-" diagnosis -'supraoral and intraoral plates or laminae destitute of odontoid tubercles, the armature of the lamprey type being obsolescent."'
The form is very closely
