The detailed account of the Searsiidae, like that of the Alepocephalidae (p. 250), 

 is unavoidably postponed until a subsequent volume. The general appearance of a 

 member of the Alepocephalidae (Fig. 6 1 a) and two of the included genera in 

 Searsiidae (Fig. 61 b, c) are shown in the accompanying outline drawings. 



Figure 61. a. Leptoderma macrops (Alepocephalidae), from off northwestern Africa; after Goode and Bean, 

 based on V'aiUant. b. Searsia koefoedi, from off the Bahamas; after Parr. c. Platytroctegen minis, from the Bay
