The genus Lycodonns was founded in 18S3 b\' the American ichthyologists Goode S: Rean (Bull. ^lus. Comp. Zool. X, No. 5, p. 208) with a single species: L. iiiirabilis. In 1895, when tliis fish was again mentioned by the same authors in their work Oceanic Ichthyology (p. 312), a considerable number of specimens had been taken off the coast of New England, in dee]i water (721 —1309 fathoms). Ottr Museum possesses two specimens presented b\- the Smithsonian Institution, so that I can judge of it from personal observation. The two most important peculiarities, which in my opinion, specially characterise the genus Lycodonns^ are shared in common by this species and L. ffagellicaiida (and the succeeding A. (7/>///i3^/«;«): first and foremost, the number of the branchiostegal raws, which is only 5 on each .side (in Lyceiiclielys.
