The teeth of the upper jaw form a villiform band, with an outer 

 series of stronger ones ; those of the lower form a single series, inter- 

 mixed with larger teeth. The height of the body is 3i in the total 

 length, the length of the head four times, and the length of the pec- 

 toral 3|. Breast scaly ; the lateral line is strongly bent, the width 

 of the arch being 1|-1| in the length of the straight portion; the 

 latter begins abruptly in the vertical from the third dorsal ray. The 

 plates are very well developed and distinct along all the straight 

 portion of the lateral line. The lower jaw is rather longer than the 

 upper; the maxillaiy reaches somewhat behind the vertical from 

 the centre of the eye. Opercular spot none, or very indistinct ; top 

 of the second dorsal blackish, 



Atlantic coasts of temperate and tropical America ; all the East 

 Indian Seas, into the Pacific, and the shores of Australia.
