D. 93, A. 70, L. lat. 48. Scales very thin and deciduous. The height of the body- 

 is two-fifths of the total length (without caudal), the length of the head two-ninths. The 

 greatest depth between the anal fin, and the straight portion of the lateral line is less 

 than the length of the head. Snout with the lower jaw somewhat projecting, as long as 

 the diameter of the eye, which is nearly one-fourth of the length of the head. The 

 length of the maxillary is one-third of the length of the head, that of the mandible rather 

 less than one-half. Eyes separated by a very narrow ridge, the lower being considerably 

 in advance of the upper. Lateral line with a semicircular curve above the pectoral. The 

 dorsal and anal are continued on to the root of the caudal, and the rays of moderate 

 length. The rays of the left ventral occupy the whole length between throat and vent. 

 Humeral arch without projecting spines. Coloration uniform. Length of specimens, 2^ 

 and 4^ inches.
