Tlie length of the middle caudal rays (.16|) is contained G times in 

 the total length. 



The caudal is slightly forked, almost trimcate when expanded. 



The pectoral is composed of ten rays. Its distance from the snout 

 (.34) is a little less than twice its length (.18). It extends to the mid- 

 dle of the interval between the two dorsals. The length of the post-pec- 

 toral plate (.14) equals twice that of the upper jaw, and its width (.04) 

 equals the length of the antecedent anal spine. 



The ventral consists of one spine and one ray. Its distance from 

 the snout (.45) equals 4 J times the length of the lower jaw. The 

 spine extends beyond the end of the pubic bones, reaching almost or 

 quite to the vent. Its length (.19) exceeds that of the pectoral (.18). 

 It is very strongly serrated on its outer and finely on its inner margin. 

 The origin of the \'entral is slightly in advance of the perpendicular let 

 fall from the second dorsal spine.

Color. — Dark bands cross the body just as in G. pungitius, which it 

 strongly resembles. The ground-color of the body in the alcoholic speci- 

 mens is almost flesh-color ; the major i^art of the head is silvery, as are 

 the breast and the belly.
