Hawaiian Islands. Hudson's drawing of this species, as published 
by Gilbert, snows the upper jaw slightly longer, thought exactly the 
reverse is true of the type, its lower jaw slightly protruding. Further 
Hudson does not indicate the minute symphyseal barbel, yhich however would 
hardly show in his profile drawing. He does show yhat appears to be a 
barbel nearly half long as eye diameter and about opposite the front edge of 
the eye. This appears to me to be a torn strand of the anterior branchiostegal 
memorane, though in no sense a barbel. Gilbert does not appear to have 
noticed it as there is no reference to it in his text. In the species the 
head is nearly twice length of the trunk as measured to the vent.
