Gill-opening lateral, slightly oblique, and its length about 2^ in head. 

 Rakers about 3 + 5 short rounded tubercles. Filaments short, about 

 equal to horizontal diameter of pupil. 



Scales small, finely ctenoid. Body mostly scaly, almost all fallen 

 in this example. Scales on back before and below spinous dorsal 

 greath' reduced and crowded. Posteriorly on trunk larger scales. 

 Fins, except base of caudal and traces of minute scales at base of pec- 

 toral, scaleless. Breast and median line of belly scaleless and without 

 traces of pockets. No lateral line. 



Dorsal spines a little pungent, third a trifle longest, and others gradu- 

 ated. Origin of spinous dorsal about midway between tip of upper 

 jaw and penultimate dorsal ray. Second dorsal inserted a trifle in 

 advance of anal, a little nearer base of caudal than posterior margin of 

 eye, and fin rays mostly uniform in height. Anal similar. Caudal 

 elongate, median rays longest and edges above and below rounded. 

 Pectoral long, broad, radii similar, none silky but all joined by mem- 

 branes and those about and just below median longest. Ventrals 

 united and with a rather broad frenum in front. Vent close in front of 

 anal. Anal papilla but little shorter than eye.
