 twelre entire rays, with some shorter ones above and below. The pectoral, very sharp 

 of less than a quarter of the total length, has twelve ravs, all branched. The ventral 

 composed as usual, and half attached, is one fourth shorter. 



The body of this little fish when it begins to dry, shows some very small scales as 

 if absorbed m the skin; its epidermis forms very fine vertical wrinkles. The 

 lateral line is straight, and on the upper fifth, is marked by oblique tubercles. The 

 general colour appears to be a red brown, dotted with white on the sides of the head 

 and under the jaw, which changes to a silvery white under the throat and breast.

 pecto-al IS also crossed by lines of do'.s or little brown spots; the ventral is whitish
