250 SOME NEW GBNERA AND SPECIES OF FISHES, 



Etymology : — Named for Dr. George Brown Goode, whose 

 early death in the very zenith of his powers is a source of the 

 keenest regret to his many admirers and of irreparable loss to the 

 cause of science.

D. 12. A. 15. V. 8. P. 11. 



Depth of l)ody 10|^ to 10|, length of head 5| to 5| in the total 

 length; width of body 1^ to l^ in its depth; interorbital region 

 narrow and concave, from ^ to |^ of the diameter of the eye, which 

 is 3| to 3| in the length of the head; snout shorter than the eye, 

 with rounded profile. Premaxillary extending to below or a little 

 beyond the vertical from the posterior border of the pupil, its 

 length 2i to 2^- in that of the head. The space between the 

 origin of the dorsal and the extremity of the snout is 1| to 1| in 

 its distance from the base of the caudal; the third and fourth 

 rays are the longest, 2| to 24 in the length of the head and 1| to 

 If in the basal length ; adipose dorsal well developed, much 

 longer than high, inserted above the third quarter of the anal 

 and much neai-er to the base of the caudal than to the rayed 

 dorsal : the anal originates midway between the base of the 

 caudal and the extremity of the ventral; the fourth ray is the 

 longest, from f to ^ of the length of the base, which is longer 

 than that of the dorsal : ventral large and pointed, the space 

 between its origin and the tip of the mandibles 2i to 2J in its 

 distance from the base of the caudal; the sixth ray is the longest, 

 its length (from the base of the first ray) l^- to If in the head : 

 pectoral 2i to 2t in the head ; caudal forked, with the lobes sub- 

 equal, 7^ to 7 1 in the total length. 



Colourless, except for a series of blackish dots along the lateral 

 line, commencing above the middle of the pectoral and terminating 

 about midway between the anal and caudal; these dots are larger 

 and often concurrent on the tail; most of the dorsal and anal rays 

 with a black dot at the base; two larger dots on the median line 

 in front of and an interrupted series behind the dorsal fin; a
