Haloporphyrus rostratus .

B. 7. D. 4 | 51-56. A. 38-39. V. 6.

This species is readily distinguished by the peculiarly produced snout, which forms a short, triangular, pointed lamina, sharply keeled on the sides, and overreaching the cleft of the mouth.

Deep sea, midway between the Cape of Good Hope and Kerguelen’s Land; east of the mouth of Rio Plata. (Stations 146 and 320.) 600 and 1375 fathoms.

This fish differs in some important points from Haloporphyrus, as the form of the snout, backward position of the vent, imperfect division of the anal, in which latter respect it approaches Mora; therefore it may be regarded as the type of a distinct subgenus Antimora.
