 somewhat turned up, the lower jaw projecting slightly beyond 

 the upper. A single row of teeth along the anterior half of 

 vomer. Teeth on tlie premaxillarles rather strong. Size of 

 adult rarely exceeds ten or eleven inches. Body compressed 

 laterally; its greatest depth contained, four and a quarter times 

 in total length. Dorsal outline strongly arched from the nape, 

 the ridge being somewhat sharp. Curve of belly from origin of 

 ventral fin to that of the last ray of the anal very sharp, from 

 thence to the caudal the upper and. lower borders of the 

 peduncle of the tail are almost straight and parallel. General 

 color of body red, dingy along the back, paler on the sides and. 

 fading into pure white on the belly. Small irregular black 

 spots above the lateral line. Pectorals bluish, their tips slightly 

 grayish. Dorsal and ventrals red. Tail spotted.
