Commercial otter trawl, 368-463 m.: 1 specimen, 190 mm. Holotype. Depth of body \\ in the length, length of head 3^. Snout about f diameter of eye, which is 3 in length of head; interorbital width about 9. Jaws about equal anteriorly; maxillary extending to below anterior \ of eye; teeth in bands, canines small; upper surface and sides of head, including praeorbital and parts of snout, scaled; scales on head ctenoid and mostly much smaller than those on body; 3 rows of scales between the eyes; 12 gill-rakers on lower part of anterior arch. Scales on body ctenoid; about. Fig. 30. Notothenia macrophthalma. Holotype. 58 in a longitudinal series from above base of pectoral to caudal; 39 to 421 in upper lateral line, which ends below fourth from last ray of dorsal, 4 to 8 in lower lateral line. Dorsal VI 34; longest spine about \ length of head. Anal 30. Pectoral about f the length of head, about as long as pelvics, which reach the vent. Caudal apparently rounded; caudal peduncle a little deeper than long. Body with broad, irregular cross- bars ; cheek with two indistinct oblique stripes; dorsal fins partly blackish or dusky. Hab. Near the Burdwood Bank, south of the Falkland Islands. Very closely related to N. squamifrons, Gunther, from Kerguelen, but with a some- 1 Counted on the two sides
