  equi- 
  

   distant

  line 
  passes 
  an 
  equidistance 
  between 
  anal 
  origin 
  

   and 
  anus; 
  second 
  dorsal

   processes 
  are 
  long, 
  slender, 
  with 
  narrow 
  bases,

  scales 
  crenulate;

  pupil 
  anteriorly, 
  but 
  slightly 
  con- 
  

   stricted 
  on 
  caudal 
  peduncle 
  where 
  it 
  is 
  about 
  width 
  of 
  pupil 
  ; 
  least 
  depth 
  

   of 
  caudal 
  peduncle 
  about 
  2i^ 
  to 
  2i/^ 
  in 
  its 
  length; 
  lower
