No. 3385 has, head 2.55 in length; depth 3.02; eye 4.72 in head; snout 
4.72; interorbital 7.42; maxillary 2.16; mandible 1.79; D. XI, 172; A. III, 
8}; scales 10-106-42. 
No. 3128 has, head 2.46 in length; depth 3.01; eye 4.64 in head; snout 
4.64; interorbital 7.22; maxillary 2.16; mandible 1.80; D. XI, 17; A. III,

No. 3386 has two canines in right side of upper jaw and one on left side; 
lower jaw has none on right side of symphysis and one on the left; on the sides 
of the upper jaw the teeth are in bands, graduating back to not less than four 
rows; and on the lower jaw to two rows, these larger than those on upper jaw. 
No. 3385 has two canines on right side of upper jaw and none on left; lower 
jaw has one canine on each side of symphysis; rows on the sides of upper jaw 
same as in preceding; lower jaw has two rows on right side and one on left. 
No. 3128 has one canine on each side in upper and lower and more than four 
rows on each side of upper jaw and on lower jaw graduating back to two and then

No. 3385, has comparatively few unciliated scales on body above lateral 
line, these are restricted to the region in front of line from in front of upper angle 
of opercle to about the base of 7th dorsal spine. In No. 3386, these scales 
occupy the region above the lateral line from a line in front of upper angle of 
opercle toward base of 4th dorsal spine, and thence in a narrow stripe, gradually 
decreasing in width to the middle of base of soft dorsal. In No. 3128, these 
scales have practically the same extent as in No. 3386.
