WEST AFRICA Fishes were obtained from five stations, three off the coast of Angola, one off the French Congo, and one off Annobon, Gulf of Guinea. None of the specimens are from a depth of more than 100 m. Altogether nearly 300 specimens were collected from these stations, representing about 50 species, of which 9 have proved to be new to science. 1 1881, Denkschr. Akad. Wiss.
