Three specimens taken in upm. hdttom-sampling gear off the northern Oregon coast extend the northern limit of this species to the eastern subarctic Pacific region (as defined by Dodimead, Favorite, and Ilirano, 196:}). One is a female mm sl from 368 to 370 fathoms at lat. 44° 23'X., long-. 124° 56'W., taken August 8, 1961. by the Department of Oceanography, Oregon State Fniversity. The second, a male nun SI. from ;!25'fathoms at lat. 45° 57'X., long. 124" 48'W., was caught January 24, 1963, by the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, Exploratory Fishing and Gear Research Base, Seattle, Washington, in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Connnission (Figure 1). A third specimen ;d)()Ut .^0 mm si., taken by the Oregon State University oceanography program, was h)st before we could examine it but was identified as ('. ruhrirostris h\- a foi-iiier student, Don Day, who recorded it fnmi 350 to 400 fathoms, at lat. 44° 16'X., long. 125" OO'W., December 10-11, 1961. The male si)ecimen (UW 16743) is in the fish museum, University of Washington, and the female (uncatalogued) is at the Oregon State University, Department of Fisheries and Wildlife. ^^^M^^^^^^^^^S^'m-m^. **^SS**S!S*^*^*^ js^Sf-^ FIGURE 1—Drawing of Cataefyx rubrirosfris Gilbert (UW 16743)
