orbits, reaching anteriorly nearly as far as the intermaxillaries, and 

 posteriorly almost to the base of tlie occipital process. Nasal cirri 

 reach to opposite the posterior margin of the orbit ; the maxillary to 

 slightly behind the origin of the ventral fin ; the external mandibular 

 pair reach the base of the pectoral fin, whilst the internal are one- 

 third shorter. 



Teeth villiform, and in numerous rows in both intermaxillaries 

 and lower jaw ; on the vomer and palate they are of the same de- 

 scription, and arranged in an uninterrupted and slightly crescentic 

 band. 



Fins. The first dorsal arises opposite to the posterior third of the 

 pectoral, the ventral below the posterior extremity of the first dorsal. 

 The anal commences rather nearer to the origin of the ventral than 

 to the base of the caudal. The adipose dorsal begins opposite the 

 middle of the anal. Dorsal spine weak, with about eight very slight 

 serrations posteriorly in its upper third and terminating in a soft 

 prolongation ; its rays longer than the spine. The pectoral spine 

 longer and stronger than the dorsal, flattened, rugose externally, with 

 about eighteen strong serrations internally. Adipose dorsal thin and 

 rounded. Anal slightly rounded. Caudal deeply lunated, the upper 

 lobe the longest. 



Lateral line passes from the upper portion of the opercle direct to 

 the centre of the caudal. 



Colours. Summit of head and back of a dark greyish olive, be- 

 coming yellowish from a little below the lateral line ; abdomen nearly 

 white ; about ten rather small and rounded black spots along the 

 lateral line ; both dorsals dusky, with darker margins ; caudal olive ;_ 

 ventral and anal yellowish white ; pectoral yellowish, tipped with 

 olive ; eyes olive, with a yellowish margin. 



Not uncommon in the Bowany, where they are captured up to 

 18 inches in length, and are considered good eating.
