THe Trustees of the British Museum have undertaken the publication of the Natural History results of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910, conducted by the s.s. “Terra Nova,” under the command of the late Capt. R. F. Scott, R.N., C.V.O. Arrangements for working out most of the groups collected have already been made. Mr. C. Tate Regan’s Memo on Fishes is the part which is ready for publication first. It may be useful to explain that it is proposed to issue the Zoological Reports, from time to time, as they are ready for publication. By adopting this method the delay which results from waiting until a volume is completed may be avoided ; but, on the other hand, a natural sequence of subjects can hardly he maintained. The plan that will be adopted will be to distribute the subject-matter provision- ally among as many volumes as seem likely to be required. No attempt will be made to complete a volume before commencing the publication of its successor: and two or more volumes may accordingly be in process of publication concurrently. When a volume has reached a convenient size it will be completed by the issue of a title-page and table of contents. SIDNEY F. HARMER, Keeper of Zoology. British Musrum (Naruraut History).

THE ANTARCTIC FISHES. THE collection includes examples of twenty-five species, twelve of which have been described as new to science in a preliminary note (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) XxqI, 1914, pp. 11-14), four of these being new generic types. This large proportion of new forms 1s doubtless due to the fact that the bulk of the collection was dredged at depths varying from about 50 to 250 fathoms. All but three of the species belong to the group Nototheniiformes, and the additions to our knowledge of the genus Trematomus, the Harpagiferinae and the Chaenichthyidae, are of considerable importance. A new genus of the Bathydraconidae resembles the northern Cottid /celus in its armature of spinate bony plates, and the first Antarctic species of Paraliparis is of interest. MycropHibar. 1.

Pectoral } to %, pelvics 2 length of head. Greyish. Here described from two specimens, 130 and 140 mm. in total length, from off new land south of the Balleny Islands; depth 200 fathoms. These seem to belong to the same species as a small fish (55 mm.) from the South Sandwich Islands, which is doubtless identical with Lonnbere’s IZ mierops from South Georgia, Jf marmoratus, Giinth., from Kerguelen, has a somewhat deeper body and shorter head, larger eye, shorter barbel and dorsal filament. J/. orangiensis, Vaill., from Magellan, seems to be more slender and to have a smaller head and longer barbel than either of the other species, from which it differs also in the much longer tail, more than 13 as long as the rest of the fish. NoOTOTHENIIDAE. Nototheniinae. Trematomus, Bouleng. The known species of this genus number fourteen (or thirteen if 7. dubius be the young of 7. vicarius), from the coasts of the Antaretic Continent and South Georgia. In addition to three new species the “Terra Nova” obtained examples of two formerly placed in Notothenia, enabling me to examine the pectoral arch and to assign them to their correct position.

A specimen of 170 mm. in total length, stranded on an ice floe in 67° 24'8., 177° 34’ W. A water-colour sketch made by Mr. Lillie shows the body purplish gray, and the fins blue, with the dark spots of the same tint as the colour of the body. 4. Trematomus bernacehii, Bouleng. (PI. 1, fig. 1). Cape Evans and off Cape Adare, 45 to 50 fathoms; bottom shingle. 5. Trematomus hanson, Bouleng. (PI. 1, fig. 2). A large number of examples of this and the preceding species were caught in 1911 at the winter quarters, Cape Evans, by means of a fish trap made of wire netting stiffened by iron hoops and bars, which was lowered through holes in the ice. It was noted that when a new hole was tried one or two good catches would result, and then no more at all, perhaps because the attention of Weddell Seals had been attracted. The fish were eaten and had a distinctly sweetish taste. Three water-colour sketches were made by Dr. Wilson to show the natural coloration ; two of these are reproduced on Plate I. 6.

Several examples up to 190 mm. in total leneth, from off new land south of the Balleny Islands, at a depth of 200 fathoms, from near Inaccessible Island, 222 to 241 fathoms, and from the entrance to McMurdo Sound, 77° 13’ S., 164° 18’ W.., 207 fathoms. 4 “TERRA NOVA” EXPEDITION. 7. Trematomus pennellii, Regan (Pl. 11, fig. 2). Trematomus pennellii, Regan, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) xi, 1914, p. 12. Depth of body 45 to 5 in the length, length of head 3} to 35. Diameter of eye 34 to 3} in leneth of head, interorbital width 8 to 10.

Olivaceous, with two or three series of large dark spots which may unite to form irregular cross-bars. Off Cape Adare; 45 to 50 fathoms; bottom shingle. Five specimens, 100 to 140 min. in total leneth. This species is named after Commander H. L. L. Pennell, z.n. 8. Trematomus centronotus, Regan (PI. 111, fig. 1). Trematomus centronotus, Regan, Ann, Mag. Nat. Hist. (8), xu, 1914, p. 12. Depth of body 4 in the length, length of head 33 to 33. Diameter of eye 34 in the leneth of head, interorbital width 10. Maxillary extending to below anterior + or 1 of eye; occiput, interorbital region, cheeks and opercles scaly. 14 gill-rakers on lower part of anterior arch. Dorsal v—vi1, 32-35; spines stiff, pungent. Anal 29-32. Pectoral $ or 2 length of head; pelvics extending to origin of anal. Caudal peduncle as long as deep. 52 to 56 scales in a longitudinal series from above base of pectoral fin to caudal, 30 to 36 in upper lateral ne; lower lateral ine without tubules. Large dark spots uniting to form irregular cross-bars. Two specimens, 175 and 210 mm. in total length, from MeMurdo Sound, 100 to 200 fathoms. The pungent dorsal spies distinguish this species from all others of the genus, but it so closely resembles 7. pennell/i in other characters, scarcely differing except in the larger eye, that it is undesirable to place it in another genus. 9.

Anal Depth of body 4 to 5$ in the length, length of head 3 to 3%. Diameter of eye 29-32. Pectoral 3 to 3 length of head; pelvics reaching vent or anal fin. Caudal rounded, Caudal peduncle about as long as deep. 46 to 54 scales in a longitudinal series from above base of pectoral fin to caudal, 11 to 23 in upper lateral line ; lower FISHES— REGAN. 5 lateral line without tubules. Body with dark spots or irregular cross-bars ; spimous ‘dorsal blackish ; soft dorsal and anal with a blackish band which is broadest and most intense posteriorly ; caudal, pectorals and pelvies barred. Vertebrae 15 +32. This species was known previously only from the type, a specimen of 110 mm. taken off the Ross Barrier at a depth of 300 fathoms. Numerous examples up to 180 mm. in total length were obtained by the ‘“ Terra Nova” in the following localities :— Off new land south of the Balleny Islands, 200 fathoms. Ross Sea, 74° 25’ S., 179° 3’ E., 158 fathoms. Entrance to McMurdo Sound, 77° 13'8., 164° 18’ E., 207 fathoms, and 76° 56’S., 164° 12’ E., 160 fathoms. MeMurdo Sound, near Inaccessible Island, 222 to 241 fathoms. 10. Trematomus lepidorhinus, Pappenh. (Pl. tv, fig. 1). Notothenia lepidorhinus, Pappenheim, Deutsche Siidpolar-Exped. x11, Zool. v, p. 169, pl. rx, f. 1, and pl. x, f. 1 (1912). Three examples, 135 to 150 mm. in total length, from off new land south of the Balleny Islands, depth 200 fathoms. These have vi—vi, 31-33 dorsal and 34-35 anal rays, 75 to 80 scales in a lateral longitudinal series, and 14 to 16 gill-rakers on the lower part of the anterior arch. I have examined the pectoral arch on both sides in all three specimens and find that the foramen is well within the hypercoracoid. I can only conclude that in exposing the foramen Pappenheim must have enlarged it ventralwards, which may easily occur unless care be taken. 11. Trematomus eulepidotus, Regan (PI. tv, fig. 3). Trematomus eulepidotus, Regan, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) xi, 1914, p. 12. Depth of body 34 to 43 in the length, length of head 32 to 33. Diameter of eye 31 to 34 in length of head, interorbital width 45 to 5. Maxillary extending to below anterior + of eye; head covered with scales, only the lips naked. 14 or 15 gill-rakers on lower part of anterior arch. Dorsal vi, 35-36. Anal 33-34. Pectoral 2 to #4 length of head; pelvics extending to vent or origin of anal. Caudal truncate. Caudal peduncle as long, or nearly as long as deep. 70 scales in a longitudinal series from above pectoral fin to caudal, 42 to 46 in upper lateral line, 10 to 15 in lower. Sides of body with dark spots connected to form a network; dorsal fin with oblique dark stripes. Two specimens, 140 and 165 mm. in total length, the smaller taken at the entrance to McMurdo Sound, 76° 56'8., 164° 12’ W., at a depth of 160 fathoms, the larger from near Inaccessible Island, depth 222 to 241 fathoms. There are two larger examples, 220 and 250 mm., in bad condition, also from MeMurdo Sound, taken off Granite Harbour at a depth of 50 fathoms. 6 “TERRA NOVA” EXPEDITION. Compared with examples of 7. lepidorhinus of nearly the same size this species has a shorter snout, more oblique mouth and broader interorbital region. The tail is shorter, as the vent is nearly equidistant from tip of snout and end of anal fin, whereas it is much nearer the snout in 7. lepidorhinus. The much shorter lower lateral line and the more numerous dorsal rays are further important differences. 12. Pleuragramma antarcticum, Bouleng. Ross Sea, 158 fathoms. Cape Evans, frozen on an iceberg. Harpagiferinae. The subfamily Harpagiferinae includes Nototheniids with the body naked, the eill-membranes broadly united to the isthmus and not forming a fold across it, the operculum hooked so that its upper edge is deeply concave, and the upper lateral line with tubules, the lower reduced to a series of pores. The genera with a mental barbel were previously represented in the British Museum only by an example of Dolloidraco longipinnis recently received from Professor Roule, but the “ Terra Nova” collection includes a large series of fishes of this group, representing six species.

Pectoral 17-rayed, 2 or ~ length of head, extending to third or fourth ray of anal; pelvics as long, extending to vent or origin of anal. Caudal subtruncate. Five dark bars across back, extending upwards on the dorsal fins, the first at base of spimous dorsal, the second and fourth stronger than the rest; a spot on praeorbital, another on cheek; lower part of body irregularly spotted ; fins with series of spots. Two specimens, 80 mm. in total length, from off Cape Adare; depth 45 to 50 fathoms ; bottom shingle. The species is named in honour of Mrs. E. A. Wilson. A, mirus, from South Georgia, described and figured by Lénnberg (Swedish South Polar Exped. Fish. p. 40, pl. iv, f. 14), from a specimen of 114 mm., appears to differ from A. orianae in the deeper body (depth 4 in the length), larger head (22 in the length), longer barbel (4 the length of head), shorter paired fins (pectoral 2, pelvies 3 to 3 length of head), higher soft dorsal with the middle rays longest and the last joined to the caudal fin, and in the absence of an interspace between anal and caudal. 14.

Body with numerous irregular dark spots; a series of blotches at base of dorsal fin sometimes continued on sides as bars; vertical fins with series of spots on the rays, those on posterior part of dorsal and anal and near upper and lower edges of caudal deep black ; peetorals barred. Vertebrae 15 + 23. 8 “TERRA NOVA” EXPEDITION. Here described from 18 examples, up to 120 mm. in total length, from the entrance to MeMurdo Sound, 76° 56’ 8., 164° 12' E., 160 fathoms ; 77° 13’ 8., 164° 18’ E., 207 fathoms; and off Granite Harbour, 50 fathoms.

Pectoral with (15) 16-17 rays, ? leneth of head, extending to vent or origin of anal; pelvics shorter, not reaching vent. Caudal subtruncate. Uniform or finely speckled ; caudal and pectorals spotted. Here described from two examples, 152 and 142 mm. in total leneth, from the entrance to McMurdo Sound, 77° 13'8., 164° 18' E., 207 fathoms, and 76° 56’ S., 164° 12’ E., 160 fathoms. The type, 146 mm. in total leneth, from off Cape Royds at a depth of 30 to 80 fathoms, had v, 27 dorsal and 20 anal rays. It had the harbel a little longer (shehtly more than 5 the length of head), the spimous dorsal less, and the soft dorsal somewhat more elevated than in the specimens here described, but these differences are well within the limit of variation as shown by other species. 16.

BATHYDRACONIDAE, Gymnodraco, with its depressed naked body, pointed snout, and compressed uniserial teeth with strong anterior canines, is connected with the genera with the body subeylindrical and more or less scaly, the snout spatulate, and the teeth villiform or cardiform, in bands, without canines, by the little known Parachaenichthys. Examples of 2. georyianus Fisch. recently brought back from South Georgia by Mr. P. Stammwitz, show that Parachaenichthys has nothing to do with the Chaenichthyidae, hut is a member of the Bathydraconidae, with the depressed form and naked body of Gymnodraco, bat the mouth and teeth of Bathydraco and its allies. In Parachaenichthys and Gymnodraco the feeble ribs are attached to the long *] epipleurals at some distance from the centra,* but in Prioncdraco the ribs are stronger, are imserted directly on the short parapophyses and bear the epipleurals near their proximal ends.

Also an example in bad condition from off Granite Harbour, McMurdo Sound, 50 fathoms. C. hamatus, Lounberg, known from a specimen of 330 mm., has a larger eye (44 in length of head, including opercular flap) and shorter pelvic fins, not reaching the vent. This species is named in honour of Lady Scott. Chaenodraco, Regan. Chaenodraco, Regan, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) x1, 1914, p. 13. This genus differs from Chionodraco in having the supraorbital ridges not crenulated, the gill-rakers developed as dentigerous prominences, and the pelvic fins each formed of a spine and only four rays. 23.

Snout 2} in length of head, diameter of eye 4§, imterorbital width 4}. Maxillary extending to below anterior + of eye. Rostral spine antrorse. Dorsal vi, 40, the two fins separate. Anal 34. Pectoral a little more than 2 leneth of head, extending to seventh anal ray ; pelvics as long as_ head, reaching fourteenth ray of anal. Body with five blackish cross-bars. A single specimen, 92 mm. in total length, from MeMurdo Sound, 77° 13! 8., 164° 18’ E., 207 fathoms. The pelvic fin-rays are simple, doubtless a juvenile character. As the snout is proportionately longer and the eye smaller than in the much larger specimen of C. wilson, this cannot be the young of that species. The much greater distance between the last ray of the spinous dorsal and the first ray of the soft fin is also an important character. CYCLOPTERIDAE. 25. Paraliparis antarcticus, Regan (PI. 1, fig. 1). Paraliparis antarcticus, Regan, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) x11, 1914, p. 11.

This genus is distinguished from MJacrorhamphosus by the deeper form, the dorsal fins continuous at the base, the strong second spine followed by five nearly equidistant and gradually decreasing in length backwards, and by the development of a patch of bristles on the nape in the adult fish. From Centriscops it differs in the last character and in having only three well-developed plates in each dorso-lateral series. 9. Notopogon lillier, Regan (Pl. xu, fig. 4).

Only three large plates in each dorso-lateral series ; last of dorsal series bearing a spine ; ventral plates spmate ; a pair of spines at posterior end of lower jaw ; a patch of scales behind dorsal hump modified into short bristles. Dorsal vit, 15, the two fins sub- continuous ; second spine rather slender, serrated, inserted above caudal peduncle, its leneth 2 distance from operculum to caudal. Anal 17. Pectoral as long as head Jv without snout. Caudal truncate. 16 “TERRA NOVA” EXPEDITION. A single specimen, 80 mm. in total length, from Cape North; 70 fathoms. Compared with .V. schoteli this species is still more aberrant in form, with the insertion of the dorsal spine higher and further back, behind instead of in front of the soft dorsal fin. It agrees more closely with . fernandezianus, which has been figured by Delfin on the cover of his Catalogue of Chilean Fishes. The type of .V. fernandezianus measures 167 mm., and it may be owing to its larger size that the eye is smaller (53 in leneth of head), the snout longer (1% instead of 1} rest of head) than in NV. wenosoma ; also the greater length of the dorsal bristles is doubtless due to age. The difference in structure and position of the dorsal spine may be more important, and in all probability direct comparison would reveal other differences between the two forms. SYNGNATHIDAE.

I propose the new name //emerocoetes waite: for the species described and figured by Waite (Ree. Canterbury Mus. 1, 1911, p. 245, pl. tiv, f. 1) as HMemerocoetes acanthorhynchus. The dorsal has 42 rays and the anal 40, and these fins originate somewhat further forward than in // macrophthalmus, which it closely resembles in other characters. The true //. aeanthorhynchus, Forster, is the species described and figured by Waite (tc, p. 247, pl uiv, f. 2) as ZL microps. The original description, that the FISHES—REGAN. 19 eye is less than 4 of the length of the head in a specimen of 200 mm., leaves no doubt on this poimt. In examples of this species I count 40 to 42 dorsal and 38 to 40 anal rays. SPROMATELIDAE. 26. Centrolophus maoricus, Ooilb. Depth of body 34 in the length; length of head 34 to 34.

Since my revision of the genus Cudbiceps (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (7) x, 1902, p. 122), when four species were recognised, Jordan and Snyder have described a species from Honolulu under the name Ariomma lurida, This is figured by Jordan and Evermann (Bull. U. 8.

Head unarmed, without large muciferous channels, smooth and convex above; eyes well-developed : no barbels. Mouth large, protractile, terminal, with the lower jaw included; teeth subconical, in a narrow band in praemaxillaries, uniserial and unequal in lower jaw and on palatines ; upper jaw with a rather wide toothless interspace between a pair of canines, which are outside the mouth when it is closed; lower jaw with a pair of strong recurved anterior canines ; yvomer with a very strong curved canine followed by a few smaller teeth. Gill-membranes separate, free; 7 branchiostegals ; 4 gills ; pseudobranchiae very small. Vent and origins of dorsal and anal fins a short distance hehind head ; vertical fins confluent at end of tail; no cdistinet caudal fin ; pectorals well-developed : pelvies jugular, a pair of simple filaments. This venus differs from Snyderidia, Gilbert. 1905 (Bull. | TS. Fish. Comm. 1903. p. 654), in the presence of pelvic fins. In many respects these two genera seem to connect the Brotulidae with the Fierasferidae, but [have ascertained that Pyrcamodon agrees with the Brotulidae in the structure of the upper surface of the skull, the supraoceipital separating the rather small parietals. 28.

For the purposes of reference it may be stated at once that the conclusions I have Fic. 2.—Map showing the mean annual surface isotherms of 6° C. — ——— — and 12° C. -—-—-—.-, as calculated by Dr. Schott, respectively approximating to the northern boundaries of the Antarctic and Subantarctic Zones; the extreme limit of pack-ice ~~ ~ bounding the Glacial District (G); and the Kerguelen (IX), Magellan (M) and Antipodes (A) Districts. reached are that south of the tropical zone the distribution of coast fishes is best illustrated by the following classification :— 1. South Temperate Zone, with seven districts: Chile, Argentina, Tristan da Cunha, Cape, St. Paul, Australia, and New Zealand. E 26 “TERRA NOVA” EXPEDITION. 2. Subantarctic Zone, with two districts: Magellan and Antipodes. 3. Antarctic Zone, with two districts: Glacial and Kerguelen. About 90 per cent. of the species of fishes known from the coasts of the Antarctic continent belong to the division Nototheniiformes; therefore it is evident that the delimitation of an Antarctic region or zone, so far as the fishes are concerned, must be based on the distribution of this group. Recognising this when working out the Antarctic fishes of the * Scotia” expedition about two years ago, I took the opportunity of monographing the Nototheniformes. Since then Professor Roule’s report on the fishes of the second Chareot Expedition has appeared, adding to our knowledge of the species and their distribution. Of the 25 Antarctic species of the “Terra Nova” collection 22 are Nototheniitormes, half of these being new species, and several others new records for Victoria Land. This beige so, the list of the species and their distribution given below, whilst agreeing in the main with my monograph, includes several additions and alterations. The South Temperate localities are given first, the subantaretic next, and the strictly Antarctic last. ‘‘ Magellan” includes the coast northwards to Chiloe and Cape Blanco, and “ Antipodes” includes the extreme south of New Zealand and the neighbouring subantarctic islands.
