Description of a specimen 212 mm. long, from station 4916 : 

 Dorsal contour of head evenly convex, the sides nearly straight for- 

 ward and backward from the prominent rounded lateral angle; 

 depth of body equal to length of snout, 2.3 in head; width of snout at 

 base 1.3 in its length ; vertical depth over front of premaxillaries 1.6G 

 in its length; preoral length of snout 1.2 in preocular length; sub- 

 orbital ridge armed anteriorly by a single row, and posteriorly by a 

 double series of strongly spinous scales ; scales on the rounded tip of 

 snout and on the lateral angles somewhat strengthened and more 

 strongly armed than the neighboring ones, but not forming prominent 

 tubercles; median rostral ridge with a series of quadrate scales; 

 occipital ridges strong and nearly parallel, but slightly converging 

 tow^ards the middle of their length from both ends, the least width 

 between the ridges half the interorbital; a weaker postorbital ridge 

 from the upper orbital margin to the upper margin of the opercle; 

 lower angle of subopercle sharply produced backwards. Orbit oval, 

 its vertical diameter 1.3 in its horizontal diameter, which is contained 

 1.8 times in the snout, 4.2 times in head. Maxillary longer than orbit, 

 1.66 in snout, extending past vertical from pupil. Barbel short and 

 slender, 3.8 in orbit. Six branchiostegals ; gill-membranes with a
