by a series of 3 blunt tubercles the last and middle of which 
are more approximated than the middle and the anterior. 
Mandible slightly prominent, with a ventrally directed spine 
at the symphysis. Origin of dorsal and anal opposite, far be- 
hind ventrals, which are situated slightly before middle of 
length and reach beyond the anus, which is situated nearer 
to ventrals than to anal. End of pectorals far distant from 
ventrals, in the middle of the body or slightly before it. 
Caudal deeply forked. Scales large, thin, 4 between anal and 
dorsal. Intermaxilla with 8—10 unequal teeth, one or two of 
which are enlarged. About 90—100 maxillary teeth, the ante- 
rior third of which smaller and verticaliy inserted. The pos- 
terior obliquely directed forward, generally increasing in size 
from before backward, intermingled with about 10—12 larger 
ones. In the anterior part of the mandibula about 12 sube- 
quel teeth between which 2 much larger ones, one behind 
the 3 or 4 most anterior ones the second nearly at the end 
of the row, behind them a continuous series of about 100 
gradually increasing in size from before backward; 2—3 on 
the palatines, 4—6 on the pterygoids. Luminous organs small: 
A black suborbital one, 2 operculars above each other, the 
dorsal on the level of the eye, the ventral on the level of 
the maxilla, g—10 between branchiostegal rays. 13 in a ven- 
tral series between isthmus and ventrals, 5 between ventrals 
and anal, the 2 anterior of which before anus, 14—15 between 
origin of anal and caudal, the 3—4 hindermost behind anal. 
A lateral series of 8—g between operculum and the vertical 
through anus, the one or two hindermost more distant. Uni- 
form brownish or blackish brown. Length 60 mm.
