greatest above ventrals and is contained about If times in total 

 length without caudal. 



The radial formula is approximately as follows: Dorsal, 34 (VI, 

 28?); anal, 21; caudal, x + 9 10 + :r; pectorals, 19; ven 

 trals, I, 5 ? The rays above the hind head are elongated and 

 almost as high as the body but those in front progressively dim 

 inish forward. The length of ventrals nearly equals the length 

 of head. 



The color of the body appears to have been tawny brown, 

 with a silvery sheen and with traces of dark spots on the dorsal 

 region, and the anal and ventrals were apparently blackish. 



A detailed description and illustration will be given after the 

 skeletonization of the fish.
