The height of the body is about one half the length excluding 

 the caudal fin. The bead is rounded between the eyes, these are 

 more than a diameter apart ; the snout is shorter than the eye ; 

 the preorbital has a strong hook-shaped tooth beneath the eye ; 

 the preoperculum is distinctly serrated ; the dorsal and anal fins 

 are pointed behind. The general colour is greenish yellow, darker 

 -on the back ; the base of the pectoral and the anterior rays of 

 the anal fin are black, and there seem to have been some blackish 

 markings on the spinous dorsal ; the outer rays of the ventrak 

 are also black. 



Length three inches. There is only one spine in the anal fin 

 of the only specimen I have, it is strong, sharp, and but little 

 shorter than the rays.
