what perhaps may be said of the fourth also. The second on 

 the contrary is very narrow, contracted below and prolonged to 

 a crossband över the anal fin also, in the same manner as the 

 hind part of the third saddle-mark. The fourth saddle-mark 

 forras a broad crossband (narrow below) över tail and fins, Tip 

 of the tail and caudal fin light. Anal opening below the före 

 part of first caudal saddle-mark. No scales.
