 Skeleton. — The upper part of the skull is nearly smooth, without 

 prominent ridges ; even the occipital crest is not vei-y much developed. 

 The bones of the suborbital arch are not chstinctly separated from 

 one another, and there is, as in all the Semnii, a broad interior 

 process for supporting the eyeball from beneath. The two upper 

 spines of the opercidum are the hinder ends of two strong bony ridges ; 

 the third spine is feeble, as is also the ridge belonging to it ; the 

 sub- and interopercidum are entire ; the edge of the praeopercidum 

 is rounded, with mmute denticidations behind, gradually becoming 

 larger at the angle, and disappearing in the middle of the lower 

 limb ; the suprascapula is minutely seiTated. The number of ver- 

 tebrae as above stated.
