One specimen, 68 mm. Cluck Island. (C. M. Cat, No. 2295.) 



Head 3.5; depth 2.5; D. XVI, 9; A. 111,8; scales 28 in a median series; lateral 

 line 19 + 12; eye 2.8 in the head, .8 in the interorbital, .6 in the preorbital. 



Compressed, blunt forward, drawn out behind, the caudal peduncle about as 

 long as high; mouth terminal, small, the maxillary not reaching the eye, entirely 

 concealed when the mouth is closed; the premaxillary-maxillary border 3.5 in the 

 head; teeth in very narrow bands, the outer series enlarged; posterior edge of 

 preopercle finely denticulate; about three rakers on the lower gill-arch. 



Three or four rows of scales on the cheek; scales regular, a single scale between 

 the end of the lateral line and the dorsal ; dorsal and anal entirely free from scales ; 

 dorsal spines increasing rapidly to the fourth or fifth, subequal from there to the 

 last, the middle spines a little the longest; pectoral longer than the head, both pectoral 

 and ventrals about reaching the anal. 



A spot behind the opercle continued as a band to the middle of the caudal, 

 but more intense and with downward extensions at intervals, back with cross- 

 shades; each scale of the side with a silvery spot; dorsals and middle caudal rays 

 cross-barred; opercles dark; a black stripe from the lateral line across the pre- 

 orbital.
