Of compressed form. The height of the body is one-fourth of 

 the total length, and about equal to the length of the head. Snout 

 long and pointed ; eyes very small ; caudal fin truncate. Colour 

 (in spirits) pale yellow, with three or four or more indistinct dark 

 cross bands from the back towards the belly, and with a small 

 bright pearly spot on every scale on ventral half of the body. On 

 the head are three black spots one before the eye, another behind 

 and the third behind that, probably forming a black streak, in 

 the fresh specimens. The fins are colourless, there is a minute 

 black dot on the membrane between the first and second dorsal 

 spine, a still more minute one on the ninth dorsal ray, and a 

 bright ocellus on the second.
