dore^al. A system or series of mucous pores continues lateral system 

 close to lower i)rofile of snout to mouth, and giving off horizontally a 

 series which extends toward upper nostril. A series of pores extends 

 down irregularly from intersecting series between eyes and gill-opening, 

 and also another small series on lower side of head anterior to former. 

 A similar pattern of lateral system on dextral side of body. 



Dorsal and caudal confluent with anal, margins of first and last more 

 or less scalloped or incised, while caudal is pointed. First 4 rays of anal 

 united by a broad membrane with rest of fin. 



Color in alcohol uniform dull brown on sinistral side. Dextral side 

 pale brownish-white. Fins brownish, darker than sinistral side. 

 Traces of 3 median longitudinal darker lines on side of trunk, median 

 one on median l)ranch of lateral system. Inside gill-opening 

 brownish. Iris pale slaty. 



Length 7j inches. 



One example.

Head 5: depth 3i; D. 109; A. 4-87; caudal 10; space between tip 

 of snout and upper eye 2^ in head; mouth cleft 5f ; upper eye oh in 

 space to tip of snout; interorbital space 5; about 124 scales in lateral 

 line, beginning count above posterior edge of gill-opening, to base of 

 caudal; below and in a median series about same number within same 

 limits; 67 scales in a transverse series in greatest width of body, or 9 

 between upper profile and upper branch of lateral line, 21 between latter 

 and median branch, 29 between latter and lower branch and 8 between 

 latter and lower profile-line. 



Body elongate, greatly compressed, sinistral and greatest depth fall-
