dian line to front of anal; very bright specimens show a narrow yellow 

 stripe following each series of scales on back and sides ; adults often 

 plain silvery ; a large rounded black blotch at base of the caudal ; fins 

 all plain; inside of mouth scarlet. Body rather elongate, somewhat 

 compressed; the back little elevated. Snout rather short, 2f in head; 

 preorbital moderate, about equaling eye. Maxillary reaching middle 

 of pupil, 2 in head. Eye 4-- in head. Dorsal spines rather high, the 

 longest If to 2^ in head, longer than the second anal spine; second 

 anal spine strong, longer and stronger than third, 2| to 2f in head, 

 reaching, when depressed, to base of la.st ray. Pectorals 1 to 1 in 

 head. Head 3; depth 3. D. XIII, 15; A. Ill, 8; scales 7-52-13. Tho 

 color of the young of D. fremebundus is very similar, but the back in 

 the latter species is more arched, the mouth much smaller, and the 

 scales below the lateral line much larger. The adult form of D. freme- 

 bundus, as yet unknown, is probably more like D. cliromis. To sy- 

 uonomy of D. chrysopterus add:
