Depth 4 to 41/2; head 2,% to 41/3. Snout 34 of eye; eye 31/10 to 

 3% in head; maxillary reaches to gill opening, dilated above man- 

 dibulary joint, pointed. Lower gill rakers 20 to 26. 



Scales 37 or 38 in lateral series; 9 or 10 transversely. Scales 

 deciduous, scarcely striated. Abdominal scutes 4 to 7, spiny, last 

 some distance before ventral. Vertebrae 39 to 41, of which 19 or 

 20 caudal. 



D. 16 or 17, origin somewhat behind middle between snout tip and 

 first rays of caudal; A. 20 to 23, origin midway between mandibulary 

 joint or gill opening and caudal base, below dorsal, fin long as head 

 without snout, 4%o to 5% in length; pectoral not reaching ventral, 

 long as or longer than postorbital part of head, rays 12 to 14; ven- 

 trals % of pectoral, inserted before dorsal or in middle between anal 

 origin and pectoral base, rays 7.

 from the coast. The various forms named by Hardenberg are based

 and the pigmentation.
