The teeth of the iippei- jaw form an exceedingly narrow viUiforni 

 band, those of the lower are in a single series ; teeth on tlic vomer, 

 the palatines and the tongue. The height of the body is 4| to 4| in 

 the total length, the length of the head 3|, that of the ])ectoral four 

 times. Breast scaly ; the lateral line is scarcely bent, the scales 

 becoming gradually plate-like somewhat before the middle of the 

 sec(jnd dorsal. The eye is large, the length of its diameter being 3J 

 in that of the bead, and much more than the width between the 

 eyes. The lower jaw is rather longer than the upper, and the max- 

 illary reaches beyond the vertical from the anterior margin of the 

 eye ; the length of the snout equals the diameter of the eye. Oper- 

 cular spot moi'o or less distinct.
