dorsal to anal 11, from upjier (mkI of gill opening to last large scale 35, from front 

 of dorsal to line on middle of eye 15; maxillary reaches line on middle of eye. 

 The larger specimen agrees in all the above counts and is similar in color in all 

 respects, both agreeing with Giinther's figure and description, but not with that 

 of Day; it is more like Day's figure of 0. porocephalus in coloration and size of 

 mouth; Giinther includes 0. porocephalus of Cuv. & Val. in his synonymy of 0. 

 ophiocephalus in which he is probably correct. M. C. Z. 29784, Kusaie, Caroline
