The detailed account of the Searsiidae, like that of the Alepocephalidae (p. 250), 

 is unavoidably postponed until a subsequent volume. The general appearance of a 

 member of the Alepocephalidae (Fig. 61 a) and two of the included genera in 

 Searsiidae (Fig. 61 b, c) are shown in the accompanying outline drawings.
