Murcenesow is related to the Congridse, but the maxillaries are articulated to the ethmoid at a considerable distance from the end of the somewhat produced snout, the ribs are rather strong, and the caudal vertebrai are formed as in the Anguil- lidge, without lateral transverse processes. The jaws have strong anterior canines and the vomer is armed with a median series of large teeth. Family 12. Congridae.
