Museum in a mummified condition; but I have succeeded by careful soaking in restoring its appearance to a certain extent and rendering it fit for description. It is now preserved in spirit. It must be made the type of a new genus, which I propose to call Phylogephyra. Mouth large, both jaws equal in front, the lower articu- lating with the suspensorium just behind the vertical of the orbit. Teeth strong, curved, close together, in one row in the prEemaxillary, maxillary, and mandible, in a large cardi- form patch on the head of the vomer, in another on the tongue, and in two series on the palatines. Branchiostegals 11. Dorsal rather elongate, with 20 rays, the four anterior adnate and unbranched; anal moderate, with 15 rays, the three ante- rior adnate and unbranched. Scales moderate. Anterior ribs with epipleurals. PhyJogephyra Side -view of head, natural size. Depth of body 5 times in total length, length of head 3| times. Snout rounded, not projecting, 1^ diameter of eye, wdiich is 5 times in length of head and 1;^ in interorbital width; maxillary 4 times as long as deep, 2| in length of head, extending to below posterior third of eye ; supplemental maxillary small. Gill-rakers moderately long, slender, 11 on lower part of anterior arch. Dorsal equally distant from the end of the snout and the base of the caudal, its length equal to § that of the head, the longest rays |- the latter length. Adipose fin small, more than twice as far from the dorsal.
