From the above it is obvious that as regards the size of eye 
and the proportions of breadth to length it is quite impossible to 
draw any distinction between the two ; the other characters, such 
as the length of pectoral fins, though fairly constant, are hardly 
reliable since in both examples of B. maculosa these fins have a 
ragged and somewhat damaged appearance, and in a large propor- 
tion of the smaller specimens of B. praelonga the coloration of the 
upper surface is identical with that of the two examples of B. 
maculosa.

A single specimen, measuring II cm. in total length (without 
the caudal fin), was obtained at Station 391 and was referred to 
this species.

1 An attempt has in recent years been made to change the generic name to 
Myctophum. For the purposes of this paper, however, I prefer to use the gene- 
tally accepted and more widely known term Scopelus.
