The greatest width of pectoral equals twice the hight of anal, 

 and is contained 12| times in total length. 



The origin of the ventral is slightly in advance of the end of 

 first dorsal, and is behind the middle of total length a distance 

 equal to the interorbital space. The length of ventral equals 

 that of lower jaw. The width of ventral base equals that of 

 pectoral base ; the greatest width of ventral slightly exceeds its 

 length. I 



Color. When received the margins of the fins were apparently 

 faded; the original color was probably grayish brown with dark 

 margins on all the fins except the first dorsal. Capello states 

 that his example was chestnut brown. 



Remarks. The gills and mouth were obstructed by sand. The 

 only parasites discovered on the animal were a couple of 

 isopods, one of which was found in the eye cavity.
