274 DEEP SEA FISHES. 
the pores of the lateral line are minute, several to half a dozen appearing 
on each scale, but on C. dentatus there are apparently but two on each 
scale, each pair being placed close together on a single black spot. The 
barbel is similar to that of C. Sloani. The number of lanterns in the bran- 
chiostegal series is eighteen, two less than is seen on C. barbatus. Total 
length seven and three fourths inches. 
Type sent by Mr. Andrew Garrett from the Society Islands. 
The following formule will indicate some of the differences among the 
described species of the genus. The lower series of lanterns (1. s. 1.) 
are enumerated from the forward end of the isthmus to the humeral 
symphysis, from the symphysis to the ventrals, from the ventrals to the 
anal, and from the origin of the anal to the caudal; and the upper 
series (u. s. ].) is counted from the pectoral to the ventrals and from the 
latter to the anal.

Ten species of this genus are more or less perfectly established. Three 
of these are found in the present material and are described and figured 
below. Another of the ten, Stomvas gracilis, is named from a specimen taken 
by the “Challenger,” south of Australia, and placed in the species S/omias 
boa Risso. The differences noted by Giinther in his report of the specimen 
hardly permit retention with the Mediterranean species. The number of 
species may be reduced by study of variations, but for the time they are 
distinguished as follows:
