one does not equal the diameter of the eye, the last is 

 one half the length of the head ; the second anal spine 

 stouter but not longer than the last dorsal ; first ven- 

 tral very slightly produced. In life, uniform orange 

 yellow ; dorsal and anal fins darker at the base ; pec- 

 torals dusky ; each scale of the check and operculum 

 with a large blue spot a blue line across the preorbital 

 and another under the eye ; blue spots along the base 

 of the anal fin ; each scale of the body with a blue 

 vertical streak ; a black spot superiorly at the base of 

 the pectoral ; no lines or streaks on the forehead. In 

 coloration thifs species somewhat resembles the P. pavo 

 but it may be distinguished from that species by the 

 greater depth of the body, the absence of the scapular 

 spot, and the difi^erence in the dorsal fins.

The height of the body is one half or a trifle over 

 one half the total length (without the caudal fin) ; head 

 3f or 3| times in the same length. The diameter of 

 the eye, which is 3^ times in the length of the head, is 

 a little more than the length of the snout, and a little 

 less than the width of the interorbital space ; the scales 

 on the head advance in front of the nostril ; the breadth 

 of the interorbital ring below the centre of the eye ig 

 one half the greatest width of the preorbital, and is 

 contained 3v times in the diameter of the eye ; teeth 

 compressed narrow; the cleft of the mouth reaches to
