102 THE SHORE FISHES. 
In the largest specimen, the orbital rims have, except in front, strong 
denticulations, those below the eye the largest, some of which are bifid and 
trifid, and one on each side broad cusp-like with four or five points; lateral stripe 
from tip of snout through eye and across opercle broad and distinct, on the 
body very faint; above this another scarcely distinguishable stripe coalescing 
with the lower posteriorly at end of downward curve of lateral line; caudal 
spot small. 
In the 42 inch specimen the orbital rim is not strongly toothed, very few 
above and the stronger ones below are nearly all single. Coloration as in the 
larger specimen. 
In the smallest specimen the coloration differs in having the median lateral 
stripe more distinct; the one above is not evident and the caudal spot is larger; 
no teeth about eye, except on lower margin, these all strong, sharp, and single. 
These specimens have a different physiognomy from A. frenata and A. 
snyderi; mouth nearly horizontal and body somewhat more elongate. 
In the Type the lateral stripe is very much more distinct; large, sharp, 
single serrations on lower orbital rim. It differs from A. frenata and A. snyderi 
in being more slender, with a somewhat different physiognomy, more nearly 
horizontal mouth, and also in color.
