 serrated; gill-rakers long, 4 J 9 in nuiiiber; anterior portion of dorsal tin sharjily falcate, longi'st ray 

 twice length of fifth i-pine; ventrals extending bnt halfway to vent; upper can<lal lobe apparently 

 longer than lower. 



Scales much larger than in /'. jdjionu-a, although the number iif pores in the course (jf the lateral 

 line is about the same. Snout and a narrow strip along each superior orbital rim scaleless, the scales 

 forming an uninterrupted wedge-siiaped extension forward on middle of iiiterorbital space; an oblique 

 line running backward from above middle of orbit contains 7 scales; a low sheath of scales along 

 base of donsal and anal (ins, consisting of a single .series along anterior |)ortion of base of each tin; 

 caudal scale<l in the greater part of its length. 



Color, back olivaceous, anteriorly with the distal portion of eacli scale largely dusky, posteriorly 

 each scale with a black intramarginal line; lower half of sides and belly liright iride.scent-silvery ; 

 opercles dusky; mouth and gill-cavity white; peritoneum blackish; tins translucent, the anterior 

 dorsal lobe with a black tip, which is contimied forward as a narrow margin over the spinous portion 

 of the tin; terminal jiarl of upper caudal lobe blackish. 



1 take pleasure in naming this species for Mr. Louis V,. Berndt, market inspector in Honolulu, to 

 whose kind assistance the expedition owed nuich of its success. The type of the present species was 

 secured for us by Mr. Berndt in the Honolulu market. It was not recognized by the fishermen, and 

 doubtless lives at greater dei)ths than the market fishes. The single cotyi)e was taken at stxition 41ir), 

 off the northwest coast of Oahu, depth lil.") ti> 241 fath..ms.

Hynnodus, new genus. 



Like EpiyonuK, bnt the palatines with teeth, and the body much more elongate; 2 anal spines; 

 minute teeth in jaws and on vomer and palatines; all the bones of head unarnuMi except the opercle, 

 which bears a single spine; eyes very large; tubes of lateral line very large, each scale perforated by a 

 canal which ojiens on the outer surface bi-neath an antero-posterior bridge, on the <lorsal and ventral 

 side of which are wide external pores. 



Eit'Njiiinix (icriderif III ix (iii«i]f iind Bean may be a member of this genus, although it is said to have 

 the vomer and palatines toothless.
