He calls attention to the fact that of those observed on the British anil Scandinavian coasts 4 were observed in the month of January, 5 in February, H in March, 2 in April, 1 in May, 1 in June, 1 in July, 2 in August, 1 iu September, and 1 in October. He also calls attention to the fact that by far the greater proportion of their capture, in the Northern Hemisphere at least, is in the stormy season. This agrees with what we know of the capture of Trachypterus, which likewise seems to be brought to the surface only by great commotions of the ocean. The popular name of Ueijahcut is oartish, in allusion to the blade-like expansion of the extremities of the 2 ventral tins. Regalecua is also called in the books the ' king of the herrings." Strangely enough, no representative of this genus has been found on the coast of North America. Giinther is of th.-opinion that the distribution of this fish in the depths of the sea is the same as that of Trachypttrtu. The similarity in their geographical distribution is quite remarkable.
