dark, this color being iiiteiisified iu a stripe about as long as the head 

 without the snout, situated a little behind the middle of the fin. 



The origin of the dorsal is slightly in advance of the vertical through 

 the front of the orbit. The first twelve rays are simple, spine-like, in- 

 creasing very rapidly in size so that the twelfth is very many times as 

 long as the first. All the teeth, intermaxillary, mandibulary, vomerine, 

 and palatine are in broad bauds. The jiosterior nostril is the larger, its 

 distance from the eye is two-thirds of the length of the eye, and its dis- 

 tance from the tip of the snout is one-third of the length of the mandible. 

 The longest gill-raker is one-half as long as the eye.
