rays elevated and the fin similar to anal; caudal deeply forked, the lower lobe much the longer; 
pectoral very long, the second ray divided, the second and third the longer, and extending to base of 
caudal; origin of ventral almost midway between tip of snout and middle of base of anal; caudal 
peduncle rather deep and compressed.

Here described from an example t> inches long, taken at latitude 28° 03' 42" N., longitude 143° 
10 / 05"W., by the Albatross, December 21,1891. We also have another example, a little larger, with the 
same data, and Dr. Jenkins obtained a small one at Honolulu, in 1889. None was seen by us in 1901.
