3o8 DISCOVERY REPORTS 



Close to N. tnacrolychnus, Regan and Trewavas, from the North Atlantic, differing in 

 the smaller head and mouth, structure of the barbel, and in the smaller number 

 of anal rays. The length and form of the barbel appears to be very different in the two 

 specimens described above, but I am unable to detect any other differences.

Family STOMIATIDAE 



A monograph of this family has been recently published by Regan and Trewavas 

 (1930, Ocean. Rep. Danish 'Dana'-Exped. (1920-2), vi, pp. 53-133, pis. i-xi, text-figs.), 

 based largely on material obtained by the 'Dana' in the Atlantic, Caribbean Sea, and 

 Gulf of Panama. Through the kindness of the authors I have been able to refer to their 

 manuscript during the preparation of this report.
