Extract

Le deuxiéme Poisson abyssal de la Scotia dont je désire entretenir la Société Royale d'Edimbourg appartient au genre Neobythites, qui fut découvert, en réalité, par le Challenger, en 1875, près du Japon, par 1875 fathoms, bien que le nom n'ait été crée qu'en 1886, sur des matériaux de l'Albatross, comme nous le verrons plus loin.

Et ce deuxième Poisson est encore une espèce nouvelle, à laquelle je donnerai le nom de Neobythites Brucei, en l'honneur de M. W. S. Bruce, Leader de l'Expédition Antarctique Rationale Ecossaise, comme un témoignage de reconnaissance pour les services rendus à la Science au cours de soil importante Exploration.

The wealth of new material collected by the Challenger in its one deep haul in the Antarctic, led to hope that valuable results would be achieved by the powerful deep-sea equipment of the Discovery; but apparently it was very little used, owing to the short time spent at sea, and possibly on account of the limited coal supply. One dredging is referred to at the depth of 610 fathoms, another at 100 fathoms, and a third, also in shallow water, off the great ice-barrier.”—Gregory, J.

Alors que les Chondroptérygiens (Requins + Raies + Chimeres) ont tous, même aujourd'hui, et depuis toujours, des Ventrales abdominales.

Quant aux Ventrales mentonnieres, elles se comprennent très bien, du moment que ces organes deviennent tactiles: c'est la transformation en Barbillons, pour des Foissons vivant directement sur le fond.
