in entire length of fish, and first rays graduated up, after which they are 

 all more or less equal, or only last 1 or 2 graduated down a little shorter. 

 Anal inserted about last f in space between origins of A^entral and 

 dorsal. Caudal (damaged) probably slightly convex? Pectoral 

 (damaged) reaching a little beyond origin of dorsal, upper median 

 rays evidently longest, margin of fin rounded and bases of lowxr rays 

 extending well forward towards base of ventral. Ventral inserted 

 at last fourth in length of head, and reaching a trifle beyond origin of 

 anal. Vent close in front of anal. 



Color in alcohol of dry example faded pale brownish more or less 

 generally. Back a trifle darker in tint than lower surface, and over 

 upper surface of head and predorsal region especially sprinkled w^ith 

 small deeper or darker brownish specks or dots. Lower surface of 

 head and belly at least immaculate. Fins all dull l^rownish. Iris 

 pale yellowish-brown. 



Length (without damaged caudal) about S^V inches.

 head If in its length ; depth of head 1^ ; snout nearly 3 ; eye 4 ; maxillary

 first anal ray about 4; eighteenth anal ray 2f ; least depth of caudal 

 peduncle 34-; caudal 1|; ninth pectoral ray li; length of ventral If. 



Body elongate, well compressed, so that towards edges of back or 

 dorsal, and lower surface of trunk posterior to vent or towards anals, 

 it is decidedly convergent. Anterior upper profile slightly elevated 

 •convexly, so that greatest depth falls at this point. Caudal peduncle
