 specimens collected by the Discovery Expedition fit very well into the description given 

 in my monograph, except that the range in the number of dorsal and anal rays is 

 greater. The number of dorsal rays varies from 78 to 90, the number of anal rays 



1 Some of the Heterosomata have been dealt with in a previous report. For the sake of completeness, 



the species from this region are listed again here.
