My larger specimen shows the following characters : — 



General form of Ambloplites ; rather elongate ; robust and thick ; depth 

 2£ in length; thickness half the depth; head large, somewhat acuminate, 

 2^ in length. Eye large, equal to snout, 4£ in head ; maxillary extending 

 to opposite its posterior margin ; supplementary bone large ; mucous cav- 

 ities and grooves well developed ; cheeks and opercles with large scales 

 in about six rows each ; limb of preopercle dentate ; profile making but a 

 slight angle. A conspicuous patch of teeth on the tongue. 



Dorsal, X — 9, in a furrow ; A., Ill, 8. Lateral line 43, six rows of scales 

 above it and about 11 below. Soft rays of vertical fins, considerably 

 scaly. 



Spines stout, the longest dorsal spine ^ the length of the head, as long 

 as from snout to middle of eye ; third anal spine still longer. All the 

 spines shorter than the soft rays. Pectorals reaching beyond tips of ven- 

 trals. Caudal emargiuate. Opercular spot moderate, smaller than eye. 



General color olive green, with a golden lustre ; each scale with a black- 

 ish spot, these forming very conspicuous lines along the rows of scales ; 

 fins mottled, the mottlings darkest on the dorsal behind, but hardly forming 

 a spot ; three broad faint oblique bars across the opercles ; faint traces of 

 vertical bars ; the general color retained in spirits ; no red in life, except 

 a shade on the iris, and no distinct black in death.
