I. INTRODUCTION. 



Twenty-seven of the new species of the Coryphaenoididae obtained 

 during the Philippine cruise of the fisheries steamer Albatross have 

 been described in a paper by Lewis Radcliffe. 1 The entire collection- 

 through the kindness of Dr. Hugh M. Smith, was placed in the hands* 

 of the present writers that they might test the constancy of the char- 

 acters used by them in a revision of the genera. 2 It soon became 

 apparent, however, that the collection contained many additional 

 undescribed forms, and the authors undertook to prepare this detailed 

 report on the entire material, which contains nearly 1,500 specimens. 

 The following genus, subgenera (8), species (30), and subspecies 

 ( 1 ) are described as new to science : 



Bathygadus spongiceps, new species. 

 Bathygadus ento?nelas, new species. 

 Gadomus denticulatus, new species. 

 Gadomus magmfilis, new species. 

 Gadomus introniger, new species. 

 Coryphaenoides semiscaber, new species. 

 Ilyomacrurus, new subgenus. 

 (Genus Coelorhynchus Giorno.) 

 Quin-cuncia, new subgenus. 

 C. quincuncia.tus, new species. 

 C . thompsoni, new species. 

 (Subgenus Paramacruru^s Bleeker.) 

 C. maculatus, new species. 

 C. velifer, new species. 

 C. sexradwtus, new species. 

 C. triocellatus, new species.
