e?, Band of teeth in upper jaw expanded posteriorly, its greatest 
width being contained from 14 to 1% times in the least width 
of bony suborbital region; color darker; head more cavernous ; 
DylOLIe; CaeCaALOL tOqdos 22 oe eee denticulatus (Hast Indies). 
@, Teeth small, but readily distinguishable by the unaided eye; band 
of teeth in the upper jaw narrow, its greatest width 2.0 to 2.4 in 
bony suborbital region; filamentous rays longer, the dorsal spine 
being more than twice as long as the head; pyloric caeca 24 to 
DAD ake i ara ia a Cr ee magnifilis (Jolo Sea, Philippines). 
ce. Interorbital 1.0 to 1.23 in orbit; gill-cavity wholly black, as in the 
following species; gular membrane black; ventral fin with § rays.

b?, Gill-rakers on lower limb of outer arch 26 or 27, long and pointed; 
pectoral rays 17 to 20; interorbital space nearly as wide as the orbit; 
pyloric caeca 12 or more; gular membrane black; teeth.readily dis- 
tinguished by unaided eye. 
f. Ventral rays constantly 8; pseudobranchiae present in speci- 
mens nearly as large as the type of melanopterus ; scapular 
foramen on suture between hbypercoracoid and hypocoracoid.

85 given in original description) ; gill-rakers long and slender, sharply

Type-specimen.—Cat. No. 78207, U.S.N.M., 307 mm. long to end 
of regenerated pseudocaudal, 112 mm. long to anus, dredged by the 
Albatross off northern Mindanao, at a depth of 220 fathoms, at sta-

with the exception of station 5198, where two were obtained:
