The teeth of the tipper jaw form an exceedingly narrow villiform 

 band, those of the lower are in a single series ; teeth on the vomer, 

 the palatines and the tongaie. The height of the body is 4| to 4| in 

 the total length, the length of the head 3|, that of the pectoral four 

 times. Breast scaly; the lateral Line is scarcely bent, the scales 

 becoming gradually plate-Hke somewhat before the middle of the 

 second dorsal. The eye is large, the length of its diameter being 31 

 in that of the head, and much more than the width betn^een the 

 eyes. The lower jaw is rather longer than the upper, and the max- 

 illary reaches beyond the vertical from the anterior margin of the 

 eye ; the length of the snout equals the diameter of the eye. Oper- 

 cular spot moi'e or less distinct.
