Batkyseriola cyanea. This form, characterized by Alcock as a Caraiigid with the general 

 aspect of Guhicvps, was taken at station 120 of the Inrentigator, in the Bay of Bengal, at a 

 depth of 240 to 270 fathoms (Aleock. Ann. and Ma-i'. Xat. Hist., July. 1801. 2;?).

 {Cat. Soc. Nat. Sci. Nap., May 30, 1S91). 



Page 220: Caprox apcr, Linnseus. The fact that the Imbitat of this species is constantly 

 in rather deep water is made more evident l)y the capture of a si)ecimen otf the southwest 

 coast of Ireland at a depth of 180 fathoms, confirming the observations of the French 

 explorers, who found it at from 30 to 175 fathoms off the coasts of France. Spain, and 

 Morocco. Giiuther is of the opinion that the stragglers which have been found from time 

 to time in considerable nund)ers along the coast of Kngland came from deep water in the 

 adjoining region (Giinther, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., >;oveml)er, 1889, 417).

Body elongate, oval in cross section. Seven gill-rakers. A small row of fine, closely- 

 set villiform teeth in the jaws, on the vomer and palatines; <m either side, in advance, a 

 canine tooth in the intermaxillary: a row of canines in the upper jaw, along the inner-side 

 of the dentary. Preopercadum finely toothed, operculum with two spines. Two dorsal fins, 

 the first with nine flexible rays, the second not so high. Scales large, thin, and cycloid; 

 head covered with scales, which are almost entirely hidden under the skin. 



A sincrle species, M.japonicum. Dcederlein (hw. cit., i>l. i, fig. 2), was obtained at <u)nsid- 

 erable dep'ths off Tokio, Japan. This species is generally iuclud.'d in the list ot deep-sea 

 forms, and is provisionally assigned to the family ChUodiptervUv.
