188 DEEP SEA FISHES. 
Brown, with a reddish tint; vertical fins and pectorals blackish ; ventrals 
whitish. 
Compared with the two species from the Atlantic, LZ. gracillipes bears a 
greater likeness in shape to Z. barbatula while in the formule the approach 
is greater to L. melanurum.

Shoulders and head thick and heavy; body much compressed, tapering 
rapidly behind the abdominal chamber, thin and slender in the posterior 
half; depth, nearly equal to the length of the head, less than one fourth of 
the total length. Head little more than four times in the entire length, as 
wide as deep, broader than deep in the forward half, flattened beneath, 
broadly rounded from the shoulders to the snout, depressed on the inter- 
orbital space. Snout short, shorter than the eye, broad, rounded, blunt. A 
slender barbel, not as long as the eve. Eye large, prominent, longer than 
the snout, equal to the interorbital width, less than one fourth as long as the 
head. Mouth large, cleft reaching to or behind a vertical from the back 
edge of the eye, maxillary extending one third of the orbital diameter 
farther back. Teeth in villiform bands, absent from vomer and palatines. 
Nostrils close together, immediately in front of the eye, posterior appearing 
vertical and narrow, anterior round and not half as large. Gills four, a slit 
behind the fourth; rakers slender, not half as long as the eye, 5 -+ 15 on 
the outer edge of the first arch. Vent below the axil of the pectoral, half 
the orbital diameter distant from the anal fin. 
Dorsal and anal moderately deep, their bases separated from the short 
rays of the caudal by less than one third of the diameter of the eye, longest 
rays extending to the bases of the longest rays of the caudal. First dorsal 
small, base as long as the distance from the middle of the eye to the end of 
the snout, third or fourth ray longest, half as long as the head, origin above 
the base of the pectoral. Neither second dorsal nor anal is much lower in
