| | Silver hatchetfish |
 | | The anal, commencing about under the rear end of the base of the soft rayed part of the dorsal, is notched midway of its length; its forward part is supported by 7 rays close together, the rear part by 5 shorter rays spaced more widely. |
 | | Perhaps the most conspicuous feature of the hatchetfishes, as taken from the water, is that their entire bodies are glistening silvery. |
 | | Our only reason for mentioning the hatchetfish is that one specimen was taken on August 31, 1883, by the Albatross between Georges and Browns Banks where the depth was 144 fathoms. |
