lTeight of body one-sixth, of total length ; the width of the 

 head between the eyes is two-thirds of its length ; snout half as 

 long as the ej'e ; pectoral fin long, somewhat less than one-fourth 

 of total length. A series of black dots along the middle of the 

 silvery band ; two other series along the side of the back, and a 

 single series on the belly.

The whole of the spinous dorsal is above the ventral fin ; the 

 height of the body is six times and a-half in the total length, the 

 length of the head five times ; the diameter of the eye is one- 

 third of the length of the head, equal to the width of the inter- 

 orbital space, and more than the extent of the snout, which is 

 short and slightly pointed. The cleft of the mouth is very oblique 

 with the jaws equal anteriorly ; the mouth is rather small, the 

 maxillary not extending to the anterior margin of the eye. Teeth 

 conspicuous, on jaws and vomer. The silvery band occupies half 

 of the fourth and fifth series of scales, and it has two or three 

 rows of dots running along its whole length.
