tail is contained about twenty times in the body's

Pigmentary spots are wholly wanting. 



Only one specimen is to be found of this species 

 in the collection; its habit does not differ much from 

 that of the preceding species. It was procured by 

 Captain Eokman on the 23* d - of April 1890 in Lat. 

 34° N. and Long. 65° W. (Central Atlantic). Its mea- 

 surements read as follows: 



Length of body 67 mm. 



Greatest height of body 7 „ 



Distance from extremity of snout to vent 64 „ 



Length of head " 3 „ 



Distance from extremity of snout. to eye's 



anterior margin 1,5 „ 



Eye's diameter 1 „ 



16. L. Sch6elei n. sp. 



PI. I. f. 6 and 7. 



The body is compressed, elongated and high; its 



"greatest height, contained more than nine times in 



its length, is situated in about the middle, whence 



the height diminishes almost uniformly towards head 



and tail. 



The head is small; its length is contained about 

 three times in the body's greatest height. . Its upper 

 profile is. for the major part convex, but a little in 

 front of the eye shows a very slight concavity. The 

 snout is pointed. The distance from the extremity 

 of the snout to the eye's anterior margin is about 

 one and a half times greater than the diameter of
