Only two specimens avere not measured, owing to their poor state 
of preservation. They are about 52 and 76 mm. long, respectively, 
to the anus, and agree with the other specimens in the diagnostic 
characters. 
(denticulatus, in reference to the fine teeth. ) 
7. GADOMUS MAGNIFILIS, new species. 
Type-specimen.—Cat. No. 78208, U.S.N.M.; 337 mm. long to 
the end of a very small pseudocaudal, 103 mm. long to the anus; 
dredged at Albatross station 5515, off northern Mindanao, in “ about 
700” fathoms, near the type locality of G. denticulatus, but in deeper 
water. 
Two smaller paratypes were also obtained:

The form of the body is similar to that of related species; the 
greatest depth is equal to the greatest length of the head to the 
preopercular margin; the greatest width across the pectoral bases 
is about half the depth, and is contained 2.35 times in the head. 
The head is somewhat more cavernous and angular in outline than 
in G. denticulatus, as correlated with its living at greater depths: 
the outline of the snout at the tip of the premaxillary forms little 
more than a right angle. The width of the head is almost equal to 
the length of the‘snout plus that of the orbit. The orbit, as deep as 
long, is contained 4.65 (4.4)! times in the length of the head, 1.3 
(1.2)1 times in the length of the snout. Least width of interorbital, 
1.37 (1.5)? in orbit. The least width of the bony suborbital region 
is nearly two-thirds that of the interorbital. The maxillary reaches 
a little beyond the vertical from the posterior orbital margin; length 
of the upper jaw, 1.8 in head. The teeth, though minute, are of 
sufficient size and spacing to be readily distinguished from one an- 
other by the unaided eye. The bands of teeth in the jaws are rather 
narrow, and are somewhat rounded in cross-section; the premaxillary 
band is widened posteriorly, but lacks the flat process, extending in- 
ward, which is found in G@. denticulatus; the greatest width of the 
premaxillary band is contained only 2.0 (to 2.4)1 times in the least 
bony suborbital width. The teeth in the bands are aligned in length- 
wise series. The barbel is long and slender, being over half as long 
as the head in the type-specimen; but its length may be expected to 
1—n the paratype from station 5201 (70 mm. long to anus).
