B. ensiformis, Gthr., and B. maculata, Day, do not seem to me

46. SupIs JAYAKARI, sp. n. 
A single specimen, 6 inches long, of the deep-sea genus Sudis 
forms part of Mr. Jayakar’s third collection. Although in too poor 
a condition to allow of a detailed description, especially with regard 
to the fin-rays, it is yet sufficiently distinct from the previously 
described species, S. hyalina, Bp., from the Mediterranean, and 
S. ringens, Jord. & Gilb., from the coast of California, to justify 
the establishment of a new name. 
Head of Sudis jayakari, enlarged. 
The mouth does not extend to below the eye, and its length is 
twice and one third in that of the head. About 70 minute teeth in 
each maxillary ; four, posterior largest, in each premaxillary. Man- 
dible with 12 teeth on each side, two of which are minute; the 
anteriormost and the three posterior of the inner row very large and 
fang-like. Six large, fang-like, palatine teeth on each side. Dorsal 
halfway between the head and the caudal, a short distance behind 
the ventrals, which are halfway between the mouth and the caudal 
fin.
