THE SHOllK FISHES. 805 



No. A192 has one tooth on one side and two on other side of upper jaw; 

 Xo. A133 has one tooth on right side and none on left side: Xo. A135 has one 

 tooth on right side and one on left side. 



We have compared our specimens with sj^ecimens of iS. brunneus, S. hatn- 

 viensis, S. erythrodon, and the type of S. erythacus and find that they differ in no 

 way from S. brunneus except in a naturally larger eye in our specimens, which 

 are smaller than those we had of .S'. brunneus.
