Head 3 3/5 ; depth 4 ; D. iii, 8, i ; A. iii, 7, i ; scales about 

 y6 in lateral line to caudal base and 4 more on latter; tubes 

 in 1. 1. about 28; 45 predorsal scales; 18 scales from near end 

 of 1. 1. obliquely up to dorsal origin; 10 scales obliquely from 

 ventral origin to 1. 1. ; head width i 7/8 its length ; head depth 

 at occiput I 2/7 ; snout 4 ; eye 3 1/3 ; maxillary 2 3/5 ; inter- 

 orbital 2 3/4 ; first branched dorsal ray i 1/2 ; anal ray i 7/8 ; 

 least depth of caudal peduncle 2 1/3 ; lower caudal lobe about 

 I 2/y; pectoral i 3/5; ventral i 4/5. 



Body rather robust anteriorly, predorsal profile well con- 

 vex. Caudal peduncle rather stout, well compressed, its least 

 depth about half its length. Head robust, more especially 

 broad and convex above. Snout broadly convex, length about 

 3/S its width. Maxillary reaches front pupil rim. Tongue 

 scarcely free. Preorbital small, its length about i 1/2 in eye, 

 and other suborbitals narrow. Gill-rakers 2 -f- 6. Teeth 2,5 

 - 4,2, without grinding surfaces. Scales a little smaller 

 along dorsal and ventral edges of body. L. 1. only extending 

 to opposite dorsal origin. Anal inserted just behind base of 

 last dorsal ray. Pectoral reaches 3/5 to ventral and latter 

 not quite to anal. 



Color in alcohol brownish on back, sides and lower surface 

 a dull leaden or silvery-gray. A brown lengthwise band about 

 equal to orbit in width and of shade of back, extends to caudal 

 where it forms a small black spot, in size little smaller than 

 pupil. Iris dull slaty. Fins all pale brown. 



Length 67 mm.
