248 DEEP SEA FISHES. 
between the origin of the anal and the bases of the longest caudal rays. 
Seales thin deciduous; cheeks naked. 
Origins of dorsal and anal opposed, little behind the middle of the entire 
length. Pectorals narrow, long, reaching behind the bases of the ventrals. 
Ventrals small, nearer to the anal than to the pectorals. Caudal notched. 
Blackish to brown, with puncticulations and dots of black on body and 
fins; belly black. A round black spot above the maxillary below the 
forward part of the eye. 
The original description of C. mierodon of Giinther, 1878, Ann. Mag. Nat. 
Hist., p. 187, is as follows: “D.13; A. 18-21. Cheek naked. Teeth in the 
upper jaw very fine and numerous, with some larger ones placed at regular 
intervals. Eyes small.” “Atlantic and Pacific, 500-2900 fathoms.” Goode 
and Bean, 1896, Oc. Ich., p. 100, add to this in the description of Cyclothone 
lusca, identified by Giinther with C. mierodon Giint., branchiostegal rays 
7-9, ventral rays 5, and vomerine teeth “ sometimes in patches, sometimes 
reduced to a single pair of fangs.’ The type indicates that some error has 
crept into this, as there are thirteen branchiostegal and seven ventral rays 
and the vomerines have a short series of four teeth on each side. The 
specimen has twelve luminous organs in each branchiostegal series, and 
there are seventy-eight maxillary teeth, of which about half incline forward, 
but not so much as on C. acelinidens, and eighty teeth on the lower jaw of 
which about fifty are more or less inclined forward. On specimens of the 
same size the maxillary teeth of C. aeclinidens are fewer in number, larger 
in size, and more crooked than those of C. mcrodon.
