Vaillant (p. 225) describes at length, under the aame Coryphcenoides cequalis, lislies 

 taken off the coast of Morocco and the Cape Verdes, which he subsequently (p. 386) says 

 are more closely allied to Malacocephalus loevis, G-thr., and for which he proposes the aame 

 < 'oryphcenoides sublcevis.

The height of the body is two-fifths of the total length (without caudal), the length of 

 the head nearly one-third; scales rather small, with the posterior margin ciliated, truncated 

 or rounded, covering nearly the whole head, the interorbital space and maxillary included: 

 interorbital space extremely narrow; the diameter of the eye is oue-third the length of the 

 head. Lateral line with a sub-semicircular curve above the pectoral fin. Lower jaw prom- 

 inent: maxillary nearly one-half the length of the head. The teeth in the jaws form nar- 

 row bands; vomerine teeth in small number (two or three), implanted somewhat behind the 

 front margin of the vomer. The lower eye a little in advance of the upper. The dorsal 

 I'm terminates at a distance from the caudal, which is somewhat less than the depth of the 

 free portion of the tail; its longest rays are at the commencement of the posterior third of 

 the fin, where they are two fifths of the length of the head, and rather shorter than the 

 pectoral. No spine before the anal. Body very light colored, without spots; two large 

 rounded deep black spots occupy the posterior portion of the dorsal and anal (ins (Qiinther). 



Radial formula: D. 80-81; A. 63-6.".; L. hit. 85. 



This species was added to the British fauna by the discovery in L889 of several speci- 

 mens off the southwest coast of Ireland at 150 to 315 fathoms, the largest being 14 inches 

 in length, the smallest about half that size. 



'•This species." writes Dr. Giinther, "originally discovered in the Mediterranean, was, 

 probably owing to the small size or condition of the specimens, inaccurately described anil 

 figured by Risso, Bonaparte, and Canestrini. Tin 1 scales were represented much too large, 

 and the notes on the dentition were vague. Hence it was referred by myself to the genus 

 Arnuylostsus at a time when no specimens were available for examination (Pish, iv, 416), but
