 the first dorsal very low, the others nearly uniform but the 

 posterior part perhaps a little longer, the second dorsal 2.4 

 times in head, 1.6 times in depth, the anal still lower, 3 times 

 in head, 2 times in depth; the caudal small, narrow, the end 

 broken, about 10 times in length; the pectorals small, 3 times
