level with lower eye edge and lower subpectoral, lower behind and slightly 
below hind maxillary end; 3 equidistant veiled branchiostegals; 5 pec¬ 
torals, first interspace longest, all at same level except last which 
slightly higher or before ventral fin origin; 1 suprapectoral close below 
lateral line or about upper third between lateral line and pectoral fin

fin base or below bases of lowest pectoral fin rays, upper close and 
directly over pectoral fin origin; 5 or 6 ventrals all at same level, 
nearly equidistant; 1 supraventral, about lower third or 2/5 between 
lateral line and ventral fin origin; 8 to 10 ^ 6 to 8, posteroanals all 
behind anal fin base; 3 supraanals, in slight arc with first or lowest 
over last ventral, second little higher and nearly or quite level with 
supraventral and third close below lateral line over second or opposite 
anal fin origin; 2 posterolaterals, close together below adipose fin at 
same level and close below lateral line; 3 or 4 precaudals as low pair 
close together at lower rudimentary caudal rays and upper pair or 1 photo¬ 
phore rather close below end of lateral line. Row of 20 or 21 luminous 
scales along each side of back. Luminous body below pectoral fin base,
