With it was found the following, which though I have described as a species,

VI. — GONORHYNCHUS BE-ACHYPTERUS, J. M. 



Under surface of the head flat, with a cartilaginous disk behind the 

 mouth ; two very minute cirri and a few irregular pores on the snout ; there are

 middle, but hollow externally, and surrounded with a loose membranous 

 margin.

 and studded with large irregular pores ; behind the mouth there is a smooth 

 callous sucker, and at the base of the caudal fin on either side, a black spot. 

 The fin rays are,
