tiiil, wliieli is half the length of the ventral. Diameter of eye in leugtb 

 of head almost 4 times, and less than li times in snont. Preorbital 

 nearly as high as it is long, with maxillary edge nearly straight. There 

 are five series of scales between the preorbital and the angle of the pre- 

 opercnlum. Three series of molars in npper Jaw, two in lower. Poste- 

 rior nostril linear. In life this species is banded vertically with brown. 

 In form of body it resembles the Scnpj)aug {Stenotonius argyrops)^
