Premaxillary very short, extending to vortical from posterior liml» of anterior nostril; maxillary very strongly ciuved downward, with a slioi r knob at its anterior extremity, not visible without dissection. Most of the teeth on maxillary inclined forward. Gill rakers 9-f-13 or II. Lower jaw long, included, with the exception of the projecting tip. Eyo circular, close to the profile, the interorbital area being very narrow; anal under second ray of dorsal, its base half as long again as tliat of dorsal, and nearly \ as long as body; its outline resembling that of dorsal, its longest ray a little longer than the longest of tho dorsal; cau- dal forked; pectoral inserted under tip of opercular flap, its length equal to greatest height of body; ventral inserted at a distance from snout equal to twice the length of the head, its length slightly exceedin-,' that of the pectoral, 7 in body. Color blackish brown, the luniiuoua pores inconspicuous, in a row on each side from pectoral region to tail, iiiul another below ii from throat to tjio uiigin of anal. (Goode & Bean.) First obtained from great depths near Bermuda, subsequently at numer- ous localities in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Antarctic oceans, at depths of from 500 to 2,900 fathon.*i. Since also taken from numerous localities in the Atlantic by the Alhatrons and the Blake. It is equally abundant in deepwa eralongthePacificCoastfromOregontotheGalapagJo. Infacl it is every vvhere one of the most widely distributed and common of all deep- sea fishes.
