Compressed, its greatest breadth about i '/., times in its height. 

 Height 4.7 to 6.4 times in total length, according to size. 

 Head 4.3 to 4.9 in total length, pointed, its upper surface 

 flattened but slightly convex in interorbital part, wherefrom 

 it is decidedly declivous to point of snout. Mouth compara- 

 tively large, the j"aws equal, the maxillary reaching to below 

 pupil or nearly so. Snout much shorter than eye, more or 

 less than 4 times in head. Eye 2.5 — 2.7, about equal to post- 

 orbital part of head and to interorbital space. Origin of first 

 dorsal opposite to 15th, by exception to i6th scale, midway or 

 somewhat nearer to root of caudal than to frontborder of eye; 

 its vertical much nearer to anal than to base of ventrals, and 

 about 2 scales behind anus. Origin of second dorsal opposite 

 to 24th to 26th, usually to 25th scale and to about end of 

 anterior third of anal; its distance from origin of first dorsal 

 contained 1.3 to 1.6 in head. Both fins are separated by 6 to 

 8, usually 7 interdorsal scales. Distance of origin of second 

 dorsal from caudal equal to or longer than head. Length of 

 caudal peduncle, measured dorsally, shorter than distance from 

 point of snout to hindborder of eye, about twice in length 

 of head. Pectorals 5.3 to 6.5 in total length; their tips reaching
