Ventral filament Yery long, terminating in a cutaneous lobe. Skin 

 with soft warts, arranged in three or four longitudinal bands. 



Lindroth says that the fish is silveiy, with blackish transverse 

 stripes ; but, perhaps, the species he saw was different from that seen 

 by Ascanius. 



It appears very doubtful whether the dorsal tin really was con- 

 tiguous with a caudal. 



Sea off Bergen.

The height of the body is one-fifteenth of the total length, the 

 length of the head one-eighteenth. Jaws toothless. Ventral fila- 

 ment terminating in a cutaneous lobe. Skin covered with soft warts, 

 arranged in four longitudinal bands. 



Sea off" Hitteren, near Trondhjem. ? Sea off Alnmouth. 



The typical specimen, considerably mutilated, is in the Zoological 

 Museum at Stockholm. 



This species also is said to have had the dorsal contiguous with the 

 caudal fin. 



Hancock mentions a fish, caught in January or February 1845, 

 near Alnmouth, which, from the measurements given, would appear 

 to belong to this species. It was 16 feet long and 11 inches deep.

The height of the body is one-twentieth of the total length. Teeth 

 none. Caudal rays distinct. 

 Sea off Vizagapatam. 



It is raei-ely m consequence of a misinterpretation of the text and 

 figure given by liussell, that Shaw describes the ventrals of this fish 

 as biradiate.
