This fish is known to us only by a drawing of the natural size made by Mr. Smyth. It differs 
from the Call, antarcticus ( Chim. callorhynchus, Gron.) by the more backward position of its second 
dorsal and of its ventral fins. The base of the latter is considerably behind the extremity of the pec- 
torals, while in the Call, antarcticus, the end of the pectoral fins extends almost half across the ven- 
trals. The following distinctive character may therefore be proposed for the 
Call, antarcticus. 
Call, pinnis pectoralibus ultra ventralium basin pi'oductis. 
Other differences would probably present themselves on a comparison of specimens, but in the 
absence of such means of establishing the species now proposed, we rest it on a character so obvious 
that it cannot possibly escape the observer. It is dedicated to Mr. William Smyth, Mate of H. M. S. 
Blossom, whose valuable drawings have preserved for us records of several species of fishes which 
would otherwise have remained unknown to science.
