I. INTRODUCTION. 
Twenty-seven of the new species of the Coryphaenoididae obtained 
during the Philippine cruise of the fisheries steamer Albatross have 
been described in a paper by Lewis Radcliffe.t The entire collection, 
through the kindness of Dr. Hugh M. Smith, was placed in the hands 
of the present writers that they might test the constancy of the char- 
acters used by them in a revision of the genera.? It soon became 
apparent, however, that the collection contained many additional 
undescribed forms, and the authors undertook to prepare this detailed 
report on the entire material, which contains nearly 1,500 specimens. 
The following genus, subgenera (8), species (30), and subspecies 
(1) are described as new to science: ~ 
Bathygadus spongiceps, new species. 
Bathygadus entomelas, new species. 
Gadomus denticulatus, new species.
