The upper part of the body of this species is of a dark brown, with large clay-colored 

 blotches on the top of the head and gill-covers, with a few smaller ones on the back and sides, 

 and small circular yellow spots on the sides towards the abdomen. The throat is yellowish 

 white, sprinkled with minute fuliginous specks. Upon the abdomen, beneath the pectoral 

 fins, are large, circular, perfectly white spots. The preopercular spine does not extend to the

The body is of a light brown color above, with darker irregular blotches, looking, when 

 carefully examined, somewhat like transverse bands. The abdomen is pure white, slightly 

 tinged, in portions, with fuliginous stains. Twenty spines upon and about the head ; ten on 

 each side, all naked at their extremities. The spine at the posterior angle of the preoper- 

 culum extends as far back as the extremity of the opercular spine.
