  Typhlopsaras. 
  — 
  Ceratiines 
  with 
  an 
  elongated 
  trunk, 
  rectilinear 
  back, 
  obsolete 
  or 
  

   no 
  eyes, 
  far 
  exserted 
  basal 
  joint 
  of 
  the 
  anterior 
  spine 
  and 
  shortened 
  terminal 
  joint, 
  

   a 
  small 
  intermediate 
  and 
  a 
  pair 
  of 
  pedunculated 
  dorsal 
  appendages 
  some 
  distance 
  in 
  

   advance 
  of 
  the 
  dorsal 
  fin, 
  and 
  reduced 
  pectoral 
  fin 
  with 
  about 
  5 
  or 
  or

  rays. 
  

  

  " 
  Typhlopsaras 
  shufeldti, 
  — 
  The 
  first 
  joint 
  of 
  the 
  rod-like 
  spine 
  reaches 
  to 
  the 
  axil 
  of 
  

   the 
  dorsal 
  fin, 
  and 
  the 
  bulb 
  to 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  caudal 
  fin, 
  when 
  the 
  spine 
  is 
  bent 
  back- 
  

   ward 
  ; 
  the 
  bulb 
  is 
  pear-shaped 
  and 
  without 
  any 
  appendages 
  ; 
  the 
  dorsal 
  has 
  4 
  rays, 
  the 
  

   anal 
  4, 
  the 
  caudal 
  8 
  (the 
  median, 
  4 
  of 
  which 
  are 
  forked), 
  and 
  there 
  are 
  4 
  or 
  5 
  pectoral 
  

   rays. 
  A 
  single 
  specimen 
  was 
  found. 
  I 
  have 
  dedicated 
  the 
  species 
  to 
  my 
  esteemed 
  

   friend, 
  Dr. 
  R. 
  W. 
  Shufeldt, 
  U. 
  S. 
  A., 
  the 
  well-known 
  ornithotomist. 
  

  

  "The 
  name 
  Typhlopsaras 
  is 
  a 
  compound 
  from 
  the 
  Greek 
  tuphlos 
  (blind) 
  and 
  psaras 
  

   (angler), 
  meaning 
  'blind 
  angler.'
