 between the vertical from the first dorsal ray and the end of the 

 snout is contained thrice and one-fourth in the total length (with- 

 out caudal). Serrature of abdomen very conspicuous. GLU-rakers 

 fine, closely set, the longest shorter than the eye ; there are about 

 thirty-four on the lower branch of the outer branchial arch.

 fine, closely set, the longest scarcely as long as the eye ; there are
