St.8i. 18.vi.26. 32° 45' 00" S, 8° 47' 00" W. 4 J m. net, horizontal, 650 (-o)m. : I specimen, 26 mm.

Hab. Atlantic; West Indies. 



The larger of these specimens agrees very closely with the description of S. bronsoni, 

 but the diameter of the eye is markedly smaller, being contained about af in the length 

 of the snout and about 6 times in that of the head, as compared with 2 J and 4^ times 

 respectively in the type of the species. Mr Parr has been kind enough to compare the 

 larger of the ' Discovery ' specimens with the type, and writes that in general appearance, 

 body form, pigmentation, position of fins, etc., they are perfectly alike, and that, apart 

 from the size of the eye, he is unable to detect any other differences. I have, therefore, 

 identified these examples with his species until sufficient material is available to make 

 possible a study of the individual variations in these fishes.

Genera Myctophum, Lampanyctus, Diaphus, Lampadena^ 



The species included in the above-mentioned genera are very numerous, but, since 

 some of them have been briefly and often quite inadequately described, a certain 



1 I am much indebted to Mr A. Fraser-Brunner for assistance in determining many of the specimens of 

 Myctophum, Lampanyctus, Diaphus and Lampadena. His preliminary sorting of the material has greatly 

 facilitated my work on these genera. 



^ As suggested by Taning, further investigation will probably lead to the recognition of more than four 

 well-defined genera in this group.
