1350. PSENES MACULATUS, LUtkeu. 



Head 3| to 3 ; depth about 3. D. XI, I, 22 or 23 ; A. Ill, 23. Body 

 rather elongate ; eye 3 in head, half longer than snout ; fins somewhat 

 scaly; scales behind eye and on interopercle; no others on head. Pec-

 Dusky, with diffuse spots forming 7 broad cross bands on back and 

 tail, extending on the fins; first dorsal mostly black, second with 2 

 dark bands. Open Atlantic. (Liitken.) One specimen taken by the 

 Albatross in 27 49' N., 76 12' W., at the surface in 633 fathoms. Accord- 

 ing to L iit keii, this is very likely the young of Psenes capensis, Smith, 

 but that species has D. X, I, 19; A. I, 19. (maculatus, spotted.)
