1 "Deep-sea Fishes, resembling the true Eels in the general form and in the presence of linear scales placed 

 at right angles, but differing in the absence of the pterygo-palatine arch, as iri the Saccopharyngidae." Boulenger 



2 "The absence of the mesocoracoid bone distinguishes these fishes from the Malacopterygii, and the presence 

 of a duct to the air bladder separates them from the Percesoces, to some of which, the Scombresocidse and the 

 Atherinidse, they are linked by the Cyprinodontidae; whilst the Scopelid* are connected with the Berycidse by the 

 Stephanoberycidse." Boulenger,
