Depth 3 3/4; head 2 9/10# Snout 5 l/3 in head; eye 4 3/5, greater 
than snout; maxillary extends 1 1/4 eye diameters behind eye, slender, 
length 1 1/3 in head; interorbital moderate. 
Small antorbital photophore on upper front eye edge; 2 operculars, 
upper larger and little above upper hind end of maxillary; 3 branchiostegals; 
5 pectorals, first interval greatly longer than others, fourth spot 
elevated till nearly level with upper subpectoral over interval between 
third and fifth pectorals; 1 supraventral, near lower third between lateral 
line and pectoral fin origin, little before upper subpectoral; 2 sub¬ 
pectorals, in line w^th first pectoral, first little nearer upper sub¬ 
pectoral which close before bases of lowest pectoral rays; 5 ventrals, 
first to third progressively elevated so that third slightly above level 
of fourth pectoral or first supraanal; 1 supraventral, midway between 
lateral line or ventral base or level with suprapectoral, uppermost 
supraanal and posterolateral; anals 5^5, level, posteroanals behind 
anal fin base; 3 supraanals, in very slightly angular short series, 
equidistant, arise from similar interval behind and above last ventral, 
uppemost midway between lateral line and anal fin origin; 1 posterolateral, 
rather close above and behind last anteroanal, to which little nearer than 
to lateral line; 4 precaudals, progressively elevated along lower base of 
caudal, series slightly curved posteriorly and fourth spot highest on body 
or much nearer lateral line than any other.
