The length of the head is one-third of the total, and rather more 

 than the height of the body. The width of the space between the 

 eyes is much less than the diameter of the eye, which equals the 

 extent of the snout, and is one-thii-d of the length of the head.

The height of the body is 3| in tlie total length, the length of 

 the head three times. The upper surface of the head is rather flat, 

 with low ridges and some depressed spines behind the orbit. The 

 width of the space between the orbits is one-sixth of the length of 

 the head. The upper maxiUary reaches beyond the vertical from 

 the centre of the eye. The tliird to the seventh dorsal spines are 

 nearly equal in length, and one-third the length of the head. The 

 second of tlie anal is the longest. Reddish.
