 vent; head as broad as deep, its depth less than its length; snout broadly rounded 

 anteriorly, with a shallow median emargination, about as broad as long, its length 4I

Described from a single specimen, 160 mm. in length; holotype of the species.^ 



Hab. Off South Africa. 



Grammatocephalus seems to be most closely related to Promyllantor, Alcock, and 

 Pseiidophichthys, Roule, but is readily distinguished by the position of the vent, the 

 dentition, and the presence of ridges on the head.
