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.
