'"Deep-sea Fishes, reseinliling the true Eels in the general form and in the jiresence of linear scales placed 

 at right angles, but ditfering in the absence of the pterygo-palatine arch, as in the Saccopharj-ngidse." Boxilenger 



^■'The absence of the mesocoracoid bone distinguishes these fishes from the Malacopterj-gii, and the presence 

 of a duct to the air bladder separates them from the Percesoces, to some of which, the Scombresocidse and the 

 Atherinidae, they arc linked by the Cyprinodontidae; whilst the Scopelidae are connected with the Berycidse by the 

 Stephanoberycida'. " Boulenger,
