callorhynchus

Updated: August 25, 2026

Of fishes, the most remarkable was a Torpedo, with the back of a reddish brown, and smooth; and a Callorhynchus antarcticus: the latter may very well remain in the class of Chimæra. Of crustaceæ, we collected three Canceres, a Portunus, a Porcellana, a Sphæroma, and a Ligia. The dry land along the coast is extremely poor in insects.
