dian line to front of anal; very bright specimens show a narrow yellow 

 stripe following each series of scales on back and sides ; adults often 

 plain silvery; a large rounded black blotch at base of the caudal; fins 

 all plain; inside of mouth scarlet. Body rather elongate, somewhat 

 compressed; the back little elevated. Snout ratlier short, 2f in head; 

 preorbital moderate, about equaling eye. Maxillary reaching middle 

 of pupil, 2 in head. Eye 4^ in head. Dorsal spines rather high, the

 the hitter species is more arched, the mouth much smaller, and the 

 scales below the lateral line much larger. The adult form of I), freme- 

 himduSj as yet unkqown, is probably more like D. chromis. To sy- 

 nonomy of D. clirysoi^teriis add :
