Popis:	The luminiferous organ of the Macrurid fish Cœlorhynchus cœlorhynchus Risso is described in this paper. It consists of a gland, flattened dorsoventrally, placed in the body-wall, just in front of the pelvic fins. The secretory epithelium is thrown into a series of tubules, projecting downwards from the roof of the gland into a system of collecting spaces: the latter are confluent, posteriorly, with a duct which leads backwards, between the pelvic fins, to the anus. Blind pouches, which run upwards for a short distance beside the rectum, arise from the duct at its external opening at the anus.
