Teeth viliform, exceedingly minute. Vomer prominent and 

 toothed. Height of body nearly three and a half times in the total 

 length. Head about one-fourth of the same. The maxillary* 

 scarcely reaches the vertical from the anterior margin of the 

 orbit. The lateral line is very slightly curved in front ; the straight 

 portion commences about the vertical from the posterior third of 

 the soft dorsal fin, and is slightly keeled on the tail only. The 

 dorsal fin is low, the first five rays being slightly elongate. The 

 anal is similar to the dorsal. The pectoral fins reach to about the 

 line of the third dorsal r-ay. Thei'e is a very distinct black spot 



* In the previous paper, where the term upper maxillary is used, the 



maxillary bone is meant.
