Body very robust, compressed. Form nearly oval; dorsal outline 

 more convex than ventral. Antedorsal outline rather steep, slightly* 

 convex. Profile slightly depressed above eye. Mouth quite obhque, 

 rather small ; maxillary reaching to front margin of eye. Outer row of 

 teeth on both jaws much stronger than the others. Teeth on vomer and 

 front portion of palatines. Lower pharyngeals with the rather long pos- 

 terior spur turned up ; stoutish, the inner angle rounded, somewhat ob- 

 tuse. Teeth stout, very much blunted, not close set ; the inner consid- 

 erably stronger and less blunt than the rest. The characters of the 

 pharyngeals are those ascribed by Professor Jordan to the genus Xys- 

 troplites. Gill-rakers short, stout, nearly terete, about eight in number,
