 anal j^, of caudal g of the total length. Height of head -f, of body 

 5, of dorsal fin i, of anal 1 of the total length. 



Ei/es. Diameter nearly ^ of length of head, | of a diameter apart, 

 ^ a diameter from end of snout. 



Profile of dorsal and ventral aspects about equally convex, the 

 greatest depth of the body being opposite the commencement of the 

 dorsal fin. 



Cleft of mouth extending nearly to under the anterior margin of 

 the orbit. Nostrils generic. Prseorbital pentagonal. No cirri. 



Fins. The dorsal commences midway between the snout and the 

 base of the caudal, and opposite the posterior third of the pectoral.

 of the caudal, which last is deeply emarginate in its posterior three- 

 fourths. 



Scales large, and extended over the bases of the dorsal, anal, and 

 caudal fins.

 as the lateral line ; a second from just below the posterior extremity 

 of the dorsal to the base of the anal fin ; and a third across the base 

 of the caudal. Dorsal, caudal, and anal junkish ; the first with a 

 black bar along its summit, whilst the caudal has also a slightly
