width, obli(iuc, extending to below the front margin of the eye. 

 Origin of the dorsal fin behind the rontrals, and nearer to the root 

 of the caudal than to the end of the snout. Caudal hn forked. 

 Pectorals terminating at a considerable distance from the ventrals. 

 There are three longitudinal series of scales between the lateral line 

 and the root of the ventral fin. Silvery.

The height of the body is contained four times in the total length 

 (without caudal), the length of the head thrice and four-fifths. 

 Snout of moderate extent, rather longer than the diameter of the eye, 

 which is one-fourth of the length of the head ; upper jaw slightly 

 overlapping the lower ; the maxillary does not extend to below the 

 front margin of the orbit. Origin of the dorsal fin conspicuously 

 nearer to the root of the caudal than to the end of the snout, and 

 hehind the root of the ventral. Caudal fin forked ; pectoral fins not 

 extending to the ventrals. There are three longitudinal series of 

 scales between the lateral line and ventral fin. Scales much higher 

 than long. Silvery, each scale with a darker margin ; a black ver- 

 tical band along the humeral arch. Dorsal fin with the interradial 

 membrane black, the black being more intense between the posterior 

 rays than between the anterior. Upper surface of the head tuber- 

 cular in the spawning-season.

 The height of the body equals the length of the head, which is 

 one-fourth of the total (without caudal). Lower jaw longer than 

 the upper. Origin of the dorsal fin midway between the end of the 

 central caudal rays and the end of the snout. Three longitudinal 

 series of scales between the lateral line and ventral fin. {Val.).
