eigenmann: the cheirodontin^e. 43 



"D. 10; A. 70; V. 8; P. 12; scales 7-47-7. 



"The depth of the body is one-fourth of the total length (without caudal), 

 the length of the head one-sixth. Mandible strongly projecting beyond the 

 mouth; maxillary not reaching below the anterior border of the eye; premaxillarj^ 

 teeth 15, maxillary (on each side) 11, mandibular 14; mandibular teeth largest, 

 maxillary smallest. The diameter of the eye equals nearly two-fifths the length 

 of the head, and exceeds the width of the interorbital space. The pectoral fins 

 reach nearly the extremity of the ventrals, which are small; the dorsal originates 

 above the 23d anal ray. Colourless; sides of head and a lateral band above the 

 lateral line silvery."
