150 THE SHORE FISHES. 
Measurements of largest specimen were as follows: — Head 3.8 in body 
without caudal, 4.19 in total length; depth 6.15 in body without caudal, 6.76 in 
total length; eye equal to interorbital, 10.5 in head; breadth of head at its 
junction with nape 1.9 in length of head; maxillary 3.00 in head; dorsal XII, 
25, the first three dorsal rays free, without membrane, the 4th provided with a 
membrane joining it to base of 5th; A. IT, 28; scales in lateral line 12 +4+26=42. 
Both lips are strongly fringed, anterior nostrils are placed on edge of pre- 
orbital, with long tubes, which, when depressed, reach nearly to orbit; operele 
with about ten rays or cilia. 
Color in alcohol: — (specimen was somewhat dried). Head above white, 
a narrow, wavy dark line extending from back of eye downward and backward 
to edge of preopercle; another fainter line from lower front of eye, downward — 
and backward to behind corner of mouth; body straw colored; a large quadrate 
brown spot on nape, from this a series of brown spots extend downward across 
interopercle; back, along base of dorsal, white; a small brown spot on each side 
of nape; six small quadrate brown spots at the base of the dorsal, the last one 
being above the 18th scale of the straight portion of the lateral line; pectoral 
with two faint dusky cross-bars, one near base, other near middle of fin, rest of 
fin whitish; other fins yellowish translucent. 
The second specimen has, D. XII, 24; A. II, 26; scales 12 + 4 + 26; it has 
general straw color of preceding, markings similar; seven quadrate spots along 
base of dorsal; a faint spot at base of caudal; some of the scales on intermediate 
spaces margined with brown; some of the scales along the lateral line, anteriorly, 
punctulate with brown; pectoral without cross-bars. 
The smallest specimen has, D. XII, 24; A. II, 27; scales 12 + 4 + 26; colora- 
tion similar to preceding; seven quadrate spots; no dusky spots on interspaces 
between quadrate spots; no punctulations along scales of lateral line; pectoral 
plain. 
These specimens have a longer head and more dorsal rays than given in 
description of D. pectoralis, but seem to agree with the latter in other respects.
