(Plate XLI.) 
Bo Vi oD. Visa. Vixs2 F207 “EL x00 (etrea). 
Upper jaw moderately protractile. Distance between tip of 
snout and eye being 2 diameter of eye, which is contained 7} 
times in the length (185 mm.) and 44 times in depth of body. 
Length of head three times in length of body. Interorbital 
space 1} in diameter of eye. The maxillary extends to below 
the front margin of the eye. 
Colour : Grey with large dark spots. 
Only one specimen found off Cape Point (N. 41° E., 38 miles) 
by shrimp trawl, at a depth of 315-400 fathoms, 16th Septem- 
ber, 1903. (Reference number, 17,938.) 
Neocyttus, 1.2. 
Body compressed and elevate. Eyes large. Scales small 
ctenoid and not deciduous. The first dorsal has seven spines, 
the second of which is stronger and longer than the others. 
There are three anal spines, the first of which is thick and long 
like the second dorsal. Ventrals I 6, close together. Teeth on 
jaws and vomer. Branchiostegals 7. 
Neocyttus rhomboidalis, in.sp. 
(Plate XLII.) 
Br. VII. D. VII, 33-35. A. IIT 30-33. V.16. LI. 104? 
Upper jaw moderately protractile. The distance of the snout 
from the eye when mouth is closed is a little less than half the 
diameter of the eye. The greatest depth of the body is about 
34 times the diameter of the eye and is contained 14 times in 
the length of the body (140 mm.). Length of head is 2} times 
in the length of body. Interorbital space 1} in diameter of 
eye. The mouth is not so protractile as that of Cyttosoma, 
the superior limb of the pre-maxillary being 1+ in the inter- 
ocular width and much shorter than the maxillary. 
The scales of the body are small but stout and are all ctenoid. 
They are all about the same size. Near the base of the dorsal 
and anal they are slightly smaller, but a single row of larger 
scales occurs immediately at the base about the same size as
