edge trenchant from the pectorals to the anal. Eye large, diameter nearly 
one sixth of the head; longer than the distance from the end of the snout. Mouth 
nearly vertical, maxillary reaching below the hinder nostril. Preorbital bone 
deeper than long; suborbitals narrow. Pharyngeal teeth 5.4.2 | 2.4.5, com- 
pressed, pointed, hooked at the apex. Dorsal origin half the length of the 
orbit behind the middle of the length from snout to base of caudal; third spine 
strong, as long as the head. Caudal pedicel longer than deep in the free portion. 
Lateral line curving downward on the flank and again up to the middle of the 
pedicel. Total length, six inches. 
Silvery; back brownish or olive tinted.

Head long, pointed, scaleless, one fourth of the total length. Eye in the 
foremost third of the head. Mouth little longer than the eye; maxillary 
reaching nearly to the orbit. Dorsal origin in the middle of the length from the 
eye to the end of the caudal, about one length of the dorsal base farther back 
than the origin of the anal. Pectorals small. Pharyngeal teeth 5.1 | 1.5 nearly 
straight, slender, tapering to a point. Bleeker says of these teeth, ‘‘valde 
_ gracilibus insertis uniseriatis acicularibus vix curvatis 4|4,’’ which indicates 
a considerable variation, with need of some change in the generic diagnosis. 
_ Caudal notch deep, lobes subequal. Bright silvery, somewhat darkened on 
the back.

Maxillary barbels half as long as the orbit. Orbit half as long as the snout, 
| or two ninths of the length of the head. Pharyngeal teeth 5.4.2 | 2.4.5, pointed. 
_ Dorsal origin halfway from end of snout to base of caudal. Ventral origins 
below the fifth ray of the dorsal. Anal origin equidistant from ventral origins 
‘and base of caudal. About eight darker blotches on the second row above 
the lateral line, apparently under the scales; below these the scales are silvery, 
above they are darker and with dorsal and caudal fins somewhat maculate with 
|. dark.
