The height of the body is contained four times in the total length 

 (without caudal), the length of the head thrice and four-fifths. 

 Snout of moderate extent, rather longer than the diameter of the eye, 

 Avhich is one-fourth of the length of the he;id ; upper jaw slightly 

 overlapping the lower ; the maxillary docs not extend to below the 

 front margin of the orbit. Origin of the dorsal fin conspicuously 

 nearer to the root of the caudal than to the end of the snout, and 

 behind the root of the ventraL Caudal fin forked; pectoral fins not 

 extending to the ventrals. There are three loiigitudinal series of 

 scales between the lateral line and ventral fin. Scales much higher 

 than long. Silvery, each scale with a darker margin ; a black ver- 

 tical band along the humeral arch. Dorsal fin Avith the interradial 

 membrane black, the black being more intense between the posterior 

 rnvs than between the anterior. Ujipcr surface of the head tuber-
