Antorbital luminous organs small, uppsr section close over and 
subequal with nostrils, lower section as narrow crescent only along front 
eye edge, enveloped in black pigment forming narrow border; 2 opercular 
photophores, upper larger end slightly above line from lower eye edge and 
upper subpectoral, lower behind hind maxillary end; 3 veiled equidistant 
branchiostegals; 5 pectorals, first interspace greatest, fourth photophore 
over and little posterior from third and at same level as upper subpectoral; 
1 suprapectoral, about upper third in space between lateral line and 
pectoral fin origin, also little in advance of upper subpectoral; 2 
subpectorals, first or lower median in inclined line from first pectoral to 
upper subpectoral, which close before bases of lowest pectoral fin rays; 
5 ventrals, progressively higher from first to third, which nearly level 
with fourth ventral; 1 supraventral, about lower 2/5 between lateral line 
and ventral fin origin; 6 -f 5 anals, first anteroanal little elevated, last 
less so, posteroanals all behind anal fin base; 3 supraanals in slightly 
inclined line from vertical, first or lowest and median closer and third 
on leteral line; 1 posterolateral on lateral line over last anteroanal; 
4 precaudals in arc along base of lower caudal lobe, progressively higher 
with last little more separated and close below end of lateral line. 
D. II, 13, first branched rav about 1 1/3 in head; adipose fin length 
3; A. II, 13, first branched ray 2 l/2; caudal (damaged) evidently subequal 
with head; least depth of caudal peduncle 2 4/5; pectoral 2 1/3; ventral
