'Vs 1917- 



The specimen agrees fairly well with Gunther's description and figure. 

 Only the proportion between eye and interorbital space is according to the 

 much larger size of my specimen different. 



The dimensions are as follows: Height in length 5,0 (4,4 without caudal); 

 head, measured from middle of snout to tip of opercular spine, resp. 3,0 and 

 2,7; cuirassed part of head, measured in the dorsal middle line, resp. 3 ^/4 and 

 3,3. Eye 5,7, snout 2,4, and interorbital space 4,1 in length of head. Eye 2,4 

 in snout and 1,4 in interorbital space. Praedorsal region 2,6 in total length 

 without caudal, pectoral fin 2,5, and ventral fin 4 times in the same. Width 

 of head nearly ^/a its length. 



Fin formula: D. VII. 11, A. 12, P. 11 + 3, V. 6.
