248 FISHES OF NEW GUINEA, 



rather large, L. lat. about 45. The colour seems to have been a 

 pale yellowish olive, with about eleven golden longitudinal streaks 

 on each side of the body ; the fins seem to have been of a uniform 

 yellow ; the head shows some traces of dark bands between the 

 suout and eyes and between the eyes. 



I have two specimens of this fish, the largest about 18 inches 

 in length. Mr. Goldie gives no description of the colour.
