Page 2471. After Lycenchehjs paxillus (Goode & Beau), insert the 
following : 
•2833 (ii). LYCEXCHELYS JIURiXA (Collett). 
Head nearly 8; depth about 20; eye 4.5; D. 112 (including one-half of 
caudal, 118); A. 95 (101); P. 13. Body everywhere scaled, head and fins 
naked; ventrals comparatively close together, 6 times length of pectoral; 
jaws with teeth in a single series. Lateral line present, but difficult to 
trace in its entirety ; from upper angle of gill-opening a series of rather 
closely placed, very small pores (connected by a narrow line) descends in 
a curve to a short distance behind vent; after having reached nearly to 
base of anal, it runs for a short distance nearly horizontally, whereupon 
it ceases, or can not be followed in the same direction with certainty; 
another lateral line, however, begins about over the vent, and runs hori- 
zontally along median line, becoming obsolete toward end of tail; the 
pores herein are very small and more widely separated, and can be seen 
only by close observation; the short whitish line which runs through 
each pore 'forms here no accompanying line. Length 7 to 11 inches. 
North Atlantic. Kecently taken by the Ingolf expedition in Denmark 
Strait.

in Denmark Strait in 912 to 1,236 fathoms. 
Page 2587. Before Coclorlnjnclius, Giorna, insert the following: 
•2963 (a). MACBOCRUS IXGOLFI, Liitken. 
The head is contained about 5 times in the total length. The superior 
or frontal surface of the snout is separated from the inferior or more for- 
wardly directed part by a well-developed crest or edge, terminating in 3 
spinose osseous tubercles, 1 directly in the middle and 1 on each side, 
close before the naked spot, where the nostrils have their jilace, and con- 
tinued both above and below the orbits. The broadly triangular snout is 
prolonged fairly over and before the mouth, which is relatively little, the 
corners of the mouth falling in a line with the anterior margin of the 
middle of the orbits. The eyes are large, their diameter surpassing the 
breadth of the front between the eyes. The teeth form a fine card in both 
jaws. The head is scaled with the exception of the gill-membrane, the 
isthmus, and its foremost superior margin, and almost the Avhole lower 
surface. The naked part of the snout is handsomely embroidered with 
rows of slime glands. The first dorsal, counting ll-|-9 rays, is singularly 
high and its longest (second) ray is serrate and as long as the head. The 
second dorsal begins much forward, its foremost rudimentary rays may be 
followed until not far from the posterior margin of the first dorsal fin. 
The pectoral contains 20 rays, and the ventrals, whose external ray tapers 
to a fine thread and reaches a long .stretch beyond the anus, have 8 rays. 
It may also be remarked that the tail, as in other Macrurians, is really 
Bull. No. 47, 4 XI
