Typhlonus nasus .

The head of this most remarkable form is somewhat compressed, deep, as thick in the rostral as in the opercular portion ; its length is rather more than one fourth of the total. Protuberances formed by projecting portions of the cranium occupy the upper and lateral surfaces of the head ; and, more especially, one in front and another on each side of the snout are very conspicuous.

North-east of Australia (Stations 181 and 198), 2440 and 2150 fathoms.
