 D. 10. A. 25. L. lat. 57. L. transv. 13/8. 



The osseous dorsal ray is not serrated, very strong, and shorter 

 than the head. The height of the body is contained thrice, or nearly 

 thrice, in the total length (without caudal), the length of the head 

 four times and one-third. Profile of the nape slightly concave. Eye 

 large, rather longer than the snout, one-third of the length of the 

 head, and wider than the interorbital space. Jaws even in front, 

 the lower slightly projecting when the mouth is open ; the maxillary 

 does not quite reach the vertical from the front margin of the orbit. 

 Praeorbital as deep as long, suborbitals very narrow. The origin of 

 the dorsal fin is midway between the end of the snout and the root 

 of the caudal, behind the base of the ventral. The pectoral does not 

 reach the root of the ventral. Caudal fin deeply forked. Lateral 

 line but little arched downwards ; there are five and a half longi- 

 tudinal series of scales between the lateral line and the root of the 

 ventral. Bright silveiy, each scale of and above the lateral line 

 with a small patch of minute black dots at the base, more distinct 

 in males than in females. Pins light- coloured. 



Intestinal canal twice the length of the body ; liver none.

D. 10. A. 31. L. lat. 46. L. transv. 12/7. 



The osseous dorsal ray is not serrated, strong, and as long as the 

 head. The height of the body is contained twice and two-thirds in 

 the total length (without caudal), the length of the head four times 

 and one-fifth. Profile of the nape concave. The diameter of the 

 eye is longer than the snout, its length being contained twice and 

 three -fourths in that of the head. Upper jaw overlapping the lower. 

 The pectoral fin extends to the root of the ventral. Origin of the
