From the localities enumerated for M. Goodei by Goode and Bean it will be seen that 



the species is taken so far south as toff Havanna-, and that the depths noted are between 154 and 



1434 fathoms. 



The largest specimens have a length of 325""" and 3io'°™. Their <habitus> reminds somewhat 



of that of the Malacoccpliali. The length of the head is contained 5 times or somewhat more in the 



total length. The diameter of the eyes is somewhat smaller than the diameter of the front and much 



smaller than the length of the snout. The head is completely scaled with the exception of two parties 



back of the anterior margin of the snout and an adjoining part of the lower side of the snout. The 



branchial membrane and the throat are also naked, but the belly proper is scaled like the rest of the 



head. The scales may be described as ciliate or lineate-ciliate , delicately ribbed with 6 — 9 scarcely 



diverging or parallel, low, serrated thorny ribs ; the squamification therefore makes a striated impression. 



The intermaxillary teeth are arranged in two rows, the greater ones in the external row; those of the 



lower jaw are placed in a single row. The foremost (second) dorsal fin ray, whose point in its depressed 



condition does not reach to the first low ray of the second dorsal, is serrate anteriorly. The first dorsal 



has its ordinary place over the ventrals, a little behind the pectorals. The first elongate ray of the 



pectorals maj' reach to the anus; the pectorals are not relatively long. The number of the rays are 



counted thus: D'n-j-g; P. 19; V. 9 — 10. The lateral line is distinct.

IS a considerable likeness with the proceeding species, from which it may be 

 easily distinguished among other things through the larger eyes, the distinct knobs of the snout and 

 a higher first dorsal. 



The head is contained about 5 times in the total length. The snjDerior or frontal surface of the 

 snout is separated from the inferior or more forwardly directed part by a well develojDed crest or edge, 

 terminating in 3 spinose osseous tubercles, one directly in the middle and one on each side, close 

 before the naked spot, where the nostrils have their place, and continued both above and below^ the
