CUVIER and VALENCIENNES as well as STEINDACHNER (1875) have given 
very good descriptions of this species. As pointed out by the latter author 
(1875 and 1898) the number of undivided rays (»soft spines») in the dorsal are 
3—5 and not 18 as stated by CUVIER and VALENCIENNES. 
The proportions in my series are as follows:
