beyond vertical from center of nasal organ, lower curves gently forward 
below nostril; 5 pectoral photophores, first interval greatly exceeds 
others, fourth spot elevated level with upper subpectoral over interval 
between third and fifth pectorals; 1 supraventral, little nearer pectoral 
fin origin than lateral line; 2 subpectorals, in inclined line with first 
pectoral, first little nearer first pectoral and second subpectoral close 
before lower pectoral ray bases, or close before suprapectoral; 5 ventrals, 
third elevated level with supraventral forming rather acute isosceles 
triangle with second and fourth ventrals, first to third ventrals in some¬ 
what curved series; 1 supraventral, near lower third between lateral line 
and ventral fin base; anals 4+4, first anteroanal elevated though not 
quite high as median supraanal, posteroanals behind anal fin base; 3 
supraanals, in inclined line passing behind last ventral, first slightly 
higher than last ventral, second little nearer first than third which about 
upper third between lateral line and anal fin origin; 1 posterolateral, 
level with upper supraanal; 4 precaudals, in evenly curved series, fourth 
little posterior to third and equally far from end of lateral line.
