off rays; anal similar to second dorsal; last ray of latter above third 

 from last of anal, and distant from last of muscular part of tail by 

 more than depth of caudal peduncle; pectoral somewhat pointed; 

 caudal rounded at tip ; ventrals extending beyond anus. 



Upper lateral line ending under third or fourth from last dorsal 

 ray and slightly before or over beginning of lower. 



Scales slightly ctenoid to touch; absent on head save a single line 

 above on opercle and a few on upper edge of cheek; a narrow naked 

 space in front of ventrals. 



Body with five iri-egular V-shaped bands, fu-st over pectorals, 

 last below last rays of dorsal, extending ventrally to median line of 

 side along which a narrow clear longitudinal space extends; six or 

 seven large spots below this, not reaching ventral surface of body; 

 second dorsal with indistinct markings; caudal crossed by two or 

 three relatively broad bands; an irregular spot on caudal base; other 

 fins clear. 



Notothenia elegans Vaillant is not this species because of the fin 

 formula, which is: D. IV, 40; A. 30. 



N. elegans is only known from Cape Blanco to Cape Virgins, 

 apparently entirely on the eastern coast.
