D. IV, 10, I to IV, 12, I, first branched ray 1 1/5 to 1 1/4 in 
head; adipose fin 3 to 4 1/4; A. Ill, 12, I or III, 13, I, first branched 
ray 1 2/5 to 1 2/3; caudal 1 l/lO to 1 1/8, forked; least depth of caudal 
peduncle 3; pectoral 2 2/5 to 2 3/5; ventral 1 1/4 to 1 l/3. 
Brown, scale pockets where scales fallen darker. Side of head and 
scales all silvery with iridescent tints. Iris gray, with whitish 
luminous areas. Fins whitish, bases dusky. 
Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans. My materials all agree largely 
with Parr’s figure except that the suprapectoral is lower and the ventral 
fins usually inserted below the dorsal origin. They all differ from both 
Parr’s and Weber’s figures in that the posterolateral photophore is well 
before the adipose fin so that a line to it would be oblique. The figures 
referred to both show it below the adipose fin.
