Br. 7. D. 4 + 14-15; A. 3 + 13-14 + 2 ; P. 17-18 ; V. 7-8 ; C. 

 19. Forty-nine rows of scales between the operculum and the hypural 

 joint, seventeen on the back before the doi'sal fin, and twelve between the 

 dorsal and ventral fins. Vertebrae forty-nine. 



Depth 4'9 in the length to the hypural joint; head 39 in the same. 

 Breadth behind the head 1"7 in the depth. Eye 4'05 in the head, and 1*3 

 in the snout, which is 3'1 in the head. 



Body moderately elongate, compressed, the ventral profile, more 

 curved than the back. Maxillary broad, rounded posteriorly, reaching to 

 below the anterior third or fourth of the eye, and scarcely attaining the 

 vertical of the anterior border of the pupil ; its surface bears two strong 

 ridges, and the upper portion is covered by a broad supplemental bone 

 which is expanded posteriorly. Cheek, between the e^'e and the anterior 

 end of the preoperculum, as deep as the eye. Cheek, preopercular border, 

 and upper portion of operculum with arborescent mucous canals. Oper- 

 culum with five or six striae descending towards the suboperculum. 

 Nostrils supero-lateral, juxtaposed, and nearer the end of the snout than 

 the eye. Upper surface of head flat, with bony ridges, the occiput with 

 two triangular, striate patches. Jaws and palate without teeth. Gill- 

 rakers fine and closely set, the longest equal to the length of the eye ; 

 seventy-three on the lower limb of the first arch.
