 specimens were foimd to differ from the description of Drs. Jordan and Evcrmann in two respects — there are no 

 scales on the cheeks, and along the ."ide, a bright golden yellow Ijand passes longitudinally below the lateral line 

 anteriorly; but about midway it crosses and then passes back above the lateral line." Cornish. Mr. Cornish queries 

 the species.
