Remarks. — The remaining specimens examined vary somewhat 

 from the type. The gill slit extends down in front of from 10 to 13 

 pectoral rays. The eye varies from silvery to black. The absence 

 of silvery pigment in the eye may be due to the preserving fluid.

retains the epidermis in which are found thumb-tack prickles. None 

 of the specimens have prickles scattered over the body. As the epi- 

 dermis is absent from the bodies of all the specimens, prickles may have 

 been present on the sides of the body in life. The caudal fin is either 

 truncate of slightly concave. Specimens No. 60671 differ from the 

 other specimens and may represent another species. They are larger 

 with shorter, deeper bodies and a paler coloration.
