The height of the body is contained once and three-fourths (twice iu 

 young specimens) in the total lenr/th (the caudal fin not included) ; 

 the width of the interorbital space equals that of the oi-bit ; the 

 breadth of the infraorbital ring below the centre of the eye is one- 

 half of the greatest breadth of the prseorbital. Incisors rather narrow, 

 notched. The soft dorsal is produced into a point, the fourth and 

 fifth rays being the longest ; caudal fin forked. Body with five black 

 cross-bands, which are not broader than the interspaces between 

 them : the fii-st from the fii'st dorsal spine to the humerus ; the 

 second from the fourth and fifth dorsal spines towards the middle of 

 the ventral fin ; the third from the ninth and tenth dorsal spines 

 towards the vent ; the fourth from the end of the spinous dorsal to 

 the middle of the anal ; the fifth immediately below the end of the 

 soft dorsal, and continued on the posterior rays.

The height of the hody is one-half of the total length (■without 

 caudal) ; the width of the interorbital space equals that of the orbit ; 

 the breadth of the infraorbital ring below the centre of the eye is 

 rather less than one-half of the greatest breadth of the praeorbital. 

 Incisors narrow, notched. The soft dorsal is slightly -pi'oduced into 

 a point formed by the third, fourth and fifth rays, which are the 

 longest ; caudal forked. Body with five blackish cross-bands, which 

 are not broader than the interspaces between them : the first below 

 or immediately before the origin of the dorsal fin ; the second below 

 the third and fifth spines ; the third from the seventh and ninth 

 dorsal spines to the vent ; the fourth below and immediately before 

 the origin of the soft dorsal ; the fifth immediately behind the end of 

 the dorsal and anal fins.
