One small specimeu, Xo. 28G36, badly preserved, was obtained by 

 Mr. Scudder in Davis Straits, July, 1879. Length, 100 millimeters. 



In this small specimen the maxilla does not extend to the i)Osterior 

 margin of the eye, which is comparatively very large. Its diameter Is 

 longer than the distance from the tip of the snout to the orbit, and is 

 contained 4 times in the length of tlie head. The length of the head is 

 contained 7 times, and the greatest height of the body 12 times in the 

 total length. The pectoral is one-half as long as the head.
