One small infero—antorbital photophore; 3 on cheek, first rather 
close above middle of maxillary length, second postocular above first, 
third little before hind maxillary end on line with first and lower eye 
edge; 1 humeral, little before posterior photophore on cheek; 2 operculars, 
upper larger, in line with lower eye edge and second pectoral photophore, 
lower usually veiled, behind and below hind maxillary end; 3 veiled 
equidistant branchiostegals; 5 pectorals, first interspace greatest, fourth 
photophore little before or over third pectoral; at same level as upper 
subpectoral; 1 suprapectoral, rather close below lateral line and little 
behind first pectoral; 2 subpectorals, first or lower little behind second 
pectoral below pectoral fin base, upper close before bases of upper peotoral 
rays, all subpectorals and suprapectoral in same inclined line; 4 or 5 
ventrals, usually equidistant at same level (sometimes third elevated above 
interspace between second and fourth though not quite so high as lower sub¬ 
pectoral; 1 supraventral, slightly above middle in space between ventral fin 
origin and lateral line; 7 f 9, anteroanals slightly arched from anal fin 
base*.posteroanals behind anal fin base; 3 supraanals, first over or behind 
third ventral, second slightly higher than first ray at level with upper 
subpectoral and fourth pectoral over or little behind fourth ventral and 
[third close below lateral line over anal fin origin before first anteroanal; 
2 posterolaterals, first posterior though little nearer last anteroanal than 
uppermost posterolateral which close below lateral line; 2 precaudals at base 
of lower caudal lobe, first or lower opposite though well removed from third 
or upper which close below end of lateral line. Supracaudal luminous plates
