We have prepared a table of measurements of our three small 
specimens with which are included measurements of typical @. 
parallelus from Japan. The relative lengths of the different speci- 
mens should be constantly considered when their measurements are 
being compared.

(parallelus, in reference to the arrangement of the series of spinules 
on the scales.) 
43. COELORHYNCHUS SPINIFER, new species. 
? Coelorhynchus macrorhynchus WEBER, Fische der Siboga-Expedition, 
1918, p. 162, pl. 4, figs. 2 and 2a@ (not a synonym of C. macrorhynchus 
Smith and Radcliffe, as suggested by Weber on p. 671). 
This remarkable new species is related rather remotely to @. 
parallelus,; it differs from that species in having the orbit smaller; 
the snout longer and with more convex sides; the spinules on the 
scales notably longer and stronger, particularly on the ridges of the 
head. C. spinifer is probably the most strongly spined species of the 
genus. It was dredged ata greater depth than that inhabited by most 
of the other species. (A specimen of Bathygadus multifilis was also 
dredged at the type-station of this species. ) 
Ty pe-specimen.—Cat. No. 78226 U.S.N.M.:185 mm. long to the end 
of its whip-like tail, 66.5 mm. to the anus; Albatross station 5607, in 
the Gulf of Tomini, Celebes (0° 04’ S., 121° 36’ E.); depth, 761 
fathoms. 
Fin-rays—first dorsal, II, 9; pectorals, 19-18; ventrals, 7. 
The dorsal and ventral contours are not strongly arched, but con- 
verge rather rapidly behind the trunk; the dorsal, contour of the 
snout is almost straight (a little concave in (. parallelus) ; the base
