 of the spotted or reticulated effect, like that in (iiinther's hgure of Teuthis 

 rostrala (Fische der Siidsee, taf. 60); pectorals yellow; ventrals gray, barred 

 with brown; spinous dorsal gray, mottled with brown, s])in()us anal same; 

 soft dorsal and anal have a translucent meinl)rane, and rays barred with brown;

We follow .lordan & Scale in identifying this fish as S. punctaius, which 

 from descriptions seems to differ from S. r(}slrttt)is in no way except in dej)th of 

 body.
