almost equals twice the distance of the pectoral from the snout. The 

 first anal ray is contained 0.^ times in the lenf,rth of the head, the longest 

 4.^ times. The vent is nearly in the middle of the total length. 



The distance from the tip of the snout to the base of the pectoral is 

 contained 3i times, and the length of the pectoral 6| times in total 

 length. The length of the pectoral equals that of the mandible, and 

 only slightly exceeds one-half of the length of the head. 



The distance of the ventral from the tip of the snout equals the length 

 of the head. The length of the ventral equals the long diameter of the 

 eye. 



Radial formula. — D. (including half of caudal) 90; A. (including half 

 of caudal) 71 ; P. 18 ; V. 3. 



Colors. — These agree, in the main, so closely with Richardson's de- 

 scription of them, that it is unnecessary to say more than that the cross- 

 markings are faint and narrow. 



Tlie gape of the mouth is very wide. The character and arrangement 

 of the teeth agree perfectly with the original descrii)tion.
