The greatest depth of the body is below the origin of the dorsal tin and about i of the length of the trunk, the vent being not quite thrice as distant from the extremity of the tail as from the snout; therefore, the whole of the fish, and especially the tail, is mucli attenuat«!d. Head not compressed, low and long, forming 4^ length of trunk. Structure of the bones of the head as in li. compressus. Snout rather swollen and brosid, the upper jaw but slightly overlapping the lower; maxillary extending far behind the eye, which is very small, j^ length of snout, about V< that of head, an<l i width of interorbital space. Teeth very small and short, densely sot, forming narrow, villiform bands; vomerine bands open A-shaped. Gill cavity deep black; gill rakers lung and slender, 16 in number, with some rudimentary ones in front and behind. Dorsal fin commencing above upper end of gill opening, with short rays partly hidden in th
