A single specimen of the Pole Flounder was obtained from Station 343, Lat. 39° 45' 20" N., Long. 70° 55' W., in 732 fathoms. The occurrence of this species at such immense depths is noteworthy, since the Fish Commission in the same year obtained it at a depth of 120 fathoms, in almost the same latitude, and within one minute of the same longitude (Station 876).
