slightly projecting beyond the lateral ones in the form of an obtuse lobe. COLOUR. Represented in the drawing of a uniform light brown. Habitat, Valparaiso. This is the species of which, as before stated, no specimen was brought home, but only a coloured drawing made by Mr. Phillip King, an officer of the Beagle, for Capt. FitzRoy. The drawing appears to have been done with accuracy, and from it the above description has been taken. The fin-ray formula, however, was computed from the recent fish, the
