8 [[double underlined]] J. B. Edwards [[/double underlined]], [[underlined]] Amagansett , Long Island [[/underlined]] , [[underlined]] Accession [[/underlined]] 12701 ; [[underlined]] Catalogue [[/underlined]] 32516. Mr. Edwards , Keeper of the Life-saving Station at Amagansett, sent a shark belonging to the family [[underlined]] Scyllidae [[/underlined]] , the [[underlined]] Pseudotriacis microdon [[/underlined]] Capello, a species never before known in our waters, described from a single example taken in the deep water off the coast of Portugal by a deep-line fisherman. A cast of one side and of the head was made, but unfortunately the modeler cut off the head and made it impossible to secure a perfect preparation of the skeleton, which was much desired. A good drawing was made by Mr. H. L. Todd and Mr. F. A. Lucas has prepared a skeleton. The skin will be mounted as well as possible under the circumstances. [[double underlined]] Wm. J. Fisher [[/double underlined]] , [[underlined]] Kodiak [[/underlined]] , [[underlined]] Alaska [[/underlined]] . [[underlined]] Accession [[/underlined]] 12209 ; [[underlined]] Catalogue [[/underlined]] 32537-8. In Mr. Fisher's collection were two very large specimens of [[underlined]] Cottus niger [[/underlined]] Bean , first found at St. Paul Island, Bering Sea, and now known to occur also in the Gulf of Alaska.
