Details of the position, estimated fishing depth, fishing time, time of day and gear for the relevant stations are given below in the Station List. The majority of hauls were made during the day, either with an N200B net (1961-3) or Isaacs-Kidd Midwater Trawl (1964-6), but at several stations during the 1964 Cruise, an Isaacs-Kidd Midwater Trawl adapted with an N200 ring at the codend was employed. 1: I-35 I:.. Fig. I. Stations occupied during the Deep-sea Cruises of Africana //from 1961 to 1969 (• fishing stations). The material, which included mostly juveniles to adults and only a few larval fishes, was given to the South African Museum for identification, and has now been incorporated into the collection of this institution. Fishes of the family Paralepidae have not been included in this paper, while specific identifications of the Melamphaeidae, Scopelosauridae and Cyclothone have not been undertaken. The species list, based on these collections, has been divided into three regions for convenience: (i) South East Atlantic —stations west of ig^'E (St A 2945-53; 2958-63; 2967-8; 3616-43; 4218-34). (ii) South of Agulhas —stations between i9°E and 26''E (St A 2386-94; 2957; 2965-6). (iii) South West Indian —stations east of 26''E (St A 1225-54; 1877-96)..
