L. lat. 43. Seven longitudinal scries of scales above the lateral 

 line, and four between it and the ventral fin. The height of the 

 body is contained five times and one-third in the total length (with- 

 out caudal), the length of the head fom- times and one-half; the 

 diameter of the eye is two-sevenths of the length of the head. 

 Head broad and flat ; temporal region angulated ; snout very thick 

 and obtuse ; mouth very small, inferior. Origin of the dorsal fin 

 conspicuously nearer to the root of the caudal than to the end of 

 the snout. Pectoral fins not reaching \entrals. Sometimes a dark 

 longitudinal band on the side ; a dark spot on the middle of the 

 anterior dorsal rays, and a faint one on the base of the caudal.

The height of the body is about one-fifth of the total length 

 (without caudal), the length of the head one-fourth ; the diameter 

 of the eye is two-sevenths of the length of the head. Snout little 

 obtuse ; mouth moderate, slightly obli(iue, terminal. Origin of the 

 dorsal fin a little in advance of that of tlie ventral, midway between 

 the end of the snout and the root of the caudal. Pectorals ter- 

 minating at a great distance from the ventral. There are four 

 (according to the figure, three) longitudinal series of scales between 

 the lateral line and ventral fin. Tail red ; a spot at the root of tlie 

 caudal.

 The height of the body is two-ninths of the total length (without 

 caudal), the length of the head one-fourth. Free portion of the tail 

 twice as long as deep. Head rather low. Eye rather lai-ge, its 

 diameter being somewhat less than one-third of the length of the 

 head, a little more than that of the snout, and equal to the width of 

 the interorbital space. Snout somewhat convex, slightly overlapping 

 the lower jaw ; cleft of the mouth of moderate width, not extending 

 to below the front margin of the eye. Prajorbital about as deep as 

 long, much larger than the postorbital, which is a little wider than 

 the preceding suborbital. Origin of the dorsal fin opposite to tliat of 

 the vontrals. ;ind midwav between the end of the snout and ihe root of
