 on other fins. Lateral line curved up anteriorly and following the 

 curve of the back. 



Origin of spinous dorsal a little in front of pectoral base. Spines 

 rather weak and low; the first spine scarcely half the length of the 

 second and third which are the highest spines. They are scarcely 

 longer than the orbit and not so long as the soft rays. The last spines 

 are but little decreased in length making but a shallow notch between 

 the spines and rays. The soft dorsal is long; the base of the last ray 

 is one diameter of the orbit from the base of the caudal. Anal spines 

 rather weak; the second 2i times the length of the first; the second 

 about half the length of the soft rays and contained 3i times in the 

 head. Length of anal base 3 times in head. Ventrals inserted a little 

 in front of pectorals and reach half way from their insertion to the 

 front of anal. Tip of pectoral opposite that of ventral. Caudal badly 

 broken, apparentl}" the middle rays were the longest as in Larhnus; 

 they were at least as long as the head posterior to the middle of the 

 eye.

 of Korea, by Jouy, It is 90 mm. in length and is numbered 45299,
