The height of the body equals the length of the head, and is 

 somewhat less than one-fourth of the total. The upper maxillary 

 reaches to the front margin of the orbit. The dorsal spines not very 

 strong ; caudalis forked ; the second anal spine stronger and longer 

 than the third. Two bro^^^l bands along nearly all the side of the 

 body — one above, the other along the lateral hne ; a short brown 

 streak between the upper band and the spinous dorsal, another 

 along the side of the head above the orbit ; two broad golden longi- 

 tudinal bands from the eye and muzzle beneath the lateral line ; 

 dorsal and caudal fins greyish brown. {Cuv.)
