Plate 9, fig. 1. 



This species is a close ally of O. anatirostris Jordan and Gilbert,^ 

 described from a specimen from Misaki, Japan. C. anatirostris has 

 been recorded twice since the original description: by Franz, as 

 C. antirostris,^ from Abiiratsiibo, Sagami Bay, and by Jordan 

 and Thompson, as C. anagirostri^,^ from Misaki, also in Sagami 

 Bay. C, producfics is described from ten specimens dredged in 

 Suriiga Gulf. It differs from C. anatirostris in the longer snout, 

 not shaped like a duck's bill ; the eye, in the largest specimen, 1.8 in 

 the snout, instead of 1.5 ; the barbel shorter, about 6 in orbit, instead 

 of about half eye; maxillary 4.6 in head instead of 4; gill membranes 

 without a free fold; scales with 3 to 5, instead of 6 to 9, divergent 

 spinous ridges, those on the top of the head not similar to those on 

 body, bearing but one to three ridges ; length of orbit little less than 

 distance from ventral to anus, instead of 1.4 in this distance, as 

 measured on the figure of C. anatirostris. 



Type-specimen. — 306 mm. long, 109 mm. to anus, from Alhatross 

 station 5059, Suruga Gulf, Japan, depth, 197 to 297 fathoms; Cat. 

 No. 76865, U.S.N.M. 



Dorsal, II, 8 (8 to 10) ; ventral, 7; pectoral, 18 (17 to 19). 



Dorsal contour of snout slightly concave, but evenly convex from 

 middle of snout to the dorsal fin ; the base of first dorsal nearly hori- 



1 A pseudocaudal developed.
