Eight young individuals, the longest measuring two inches, were dredged at 

 Station 313, off Charleston, S. C, in 75 fathoms ; also, three specimens, badly 

 mutilated, from Station 336, lat. 38° 21' N., long. 73° 32' W., in 197 fathoms, 

 and another large one at Station 311, lat. 39° 59' 30", long. 70° 12' W., in 143

The peculiar elongated snout, similar to that of Macrurus, is attributable 

 to age.
