of the Bay of Bengal &c. 399 
I have little hesitation in referring our specimen to this 
species (described from a single specimen obtained by the 
‘Challenger’ between the Philippine Islands and Borneo), 
with which it agrees in almost every detail. In our specimen, 
however, the height of the body is contained once and one 
third in the total length, without the caudal; the eye is half 
the length of the head; the occipital spine is unsymmetri- 
cally bifid ; each denticulation of the abdominal ridge is armed 
with several small vertical spines; the adipose dorsal fin is 
hardly visible ; and the pectoral fins point backwards in the 
usual way. 
Total length 2} inches.
