Type epecimen, displaying the head from the inferior aspect, tracee of about thirty anterior vertebrae, the pectoral arch, and the right pectoral fin. The snout is very obtuse, and the head measures 0-047 in length.

The pectoral fin is acutely triangular, with a short base of insertion, and slender basal cartilaginous rays. Pur-chased, 1884.
