CALLIOXYMUS LIMICEPS 

 rar. SUBL;EVIS, nor. 



Two specimens, 182 mm. long, differ from all others 

 of the species in the collection in lacking the granular 

 rugosities on the upper surface of the cranium and supra- 

 orbital ridges. In one this area is almost entirely smooth 

 and covered by skin ; the other has smooth bony ridges 

 radiating from a point on each side of the occiput which 

 are most strongly developed on the left side, and a smaller 

 one on the median line posteriorly. Both specimens are 

 males, and have the first and second dorsal spines fila- 

 mentous; these are marked with the usual grey annuli, 

 but there is no black spot on the third spine as in 

 examples of the typical form. The anal fin is largely 

 black with a light margin, the basal portion being light- 

 coloured only posteriorly; in the typical form the fin is 

 light-coloured with a broad dusky or blackish border. 



The differences between these two specimens and a 

 series of the typical limiceps are so striking and so con- 

 sistent that they might well be regarded as of specific 

 value, but the fact that both were secured in hauls which 

 included the true limiceps, and their great similarity to 

 that species in all but the characters noted above leads 

 to the belief that they are merely exceptional variations. 



Localities. 7-10 miles north-west of Hummocky

 land, 13 fathoms ; 29th July, 1910.
