 there are about the same number of cross l)ars on the body and extending across 

 entire side, nari'owcr at ])ase of doi-snl, liinn at base of anal, most distinct in 

 middle line of body, extending across anal and to middle of dorsal; rest of 

 dorsal as in type; anal without light border and other fins as in type. A light 

 s])ot in center of each of the broad dark bars on body appearing as an intensifi- 

 cation of the longitudinal silvery stripe of the type; the narrowing of the bars 

 on back due to the diverging of the jxxirs of lines that make up the interspaces, 

 and the light bars across the lower ])art of th(> body continuous with these inter- 

 spaces and not as in the type.

 interspaces and the bars of both dorsal and anal continue' entiicly across
