specimens, 8 to 10 inches in length. Two examples, 7.5 and 8 inches long, are in Dr. Wood’s collection, 
and one, 6.5 inches long, was collected by the Albatross in 1896. This species differs from S. sancti- 
petri, as described by Cuvier & Valenciennes, in having a simple bend in the lateral line and in 
having a longer pectoral.
