Length of head 4 to 4|, of caudal fin 5, height of body a little over half of the total 

 length. Eyes — diameter 2/5 of the length of the head, half a diameter from the end of 

 the snout. Preopercle rather coarsely serrated. Scales — lateral-line ceases below the 

 soft dorsal fin, but is continued in the middle of the free portion of the tail, as one or 

 two holes in each scale. Colours — deep brown, Tortical fins dark, becoming black at their 

 edges. A white spot at the nape, which is sometimes wanting, a second above the lateral-
