In 1895, when this 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 deep water (721 —1309 fathoms). Our Musemn possesses two specimens presented by 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 Lycodonus, are shared in common by this species and L. flagellicauda (and the succeeding Z. c»^/^/i3?/«/«): first and foremost, the number of the branchiostegal rays, which is onl\- 5 on each side (in Lycenchelys.
