 behind. Teeth on maxillary a little larger than those on mandible. 

 Gill-rakers slender, their number 13+16. 



Scales nearl}' all missing on our specimens, A series of 1 on the 

 posterior part of the body of the tjpe occupy about the same space as 

 a like number just behind the pectoral. Measuring with these as a 

 standard there would be 11 scales in a longitudinal series. There are 

 18 ventral scales before the ventrals and 8 behind. 



Dorsal with short stout spine, scarcely attached to the dorsal rays. 

 Base of lirst dorsal ra}- nearer tip of snout than base of caudal by a 

 distance equal to the postorbital part of head, or to the length of dorsal 

 base. Pectoral tilament longer than the head by one diameter of the 

 eye; its tip reaching very slightly past tips of ventrals. 



Ventrals inserted midway between front of anal and base of pecto- 

 rals. Ventrals contained 3^ times in head. Front of anal under the
