content: The catalog number of this specimen was incorrectly published as USNM 26007 in Goode 1880. The original USNM ledger indicates that the type of Macrurus carminatus is USNM 26001. The publication also stated that the station number was 871. That is the station number for USNM 26007. The station number for USNM 26001 is 871. Also, this specimen was found in a jar combined with many other specimens. Two specimens had the catalog number USNM 26001. Given the diference of the conditions of the specimens, it is doubtful that both are USNM 26001. The length of specimen without the tin tag 73 agreed with the length published in Goode 1880 so it is considered to be the type. The tail broke off during measurement. (It was placed inside the gill cover.) It is possible the remaining specimen is one of the following: USNM26188, USNM 26189, USNM 28958, USNM 35476, USNM 35478, USNM 43625.
