KuRTID^E. 



Kurtus indicus, a small fish from the Indian Ocean. The 

 specimen obtained was got on the Orissa coast, Bay of Bengal. 

 Two prominences, but coalesced so as to appear like one large 

 bulbous swelling of thin bone under the basi-occiput, show the 

 sites of the sacculi most apparently. A distinct lagena. The 

 otoliths are all large for the size of the fish (fig. VI., 9).
