 Plate 27, fig. 9. 



This species differs from the following, 8. orientalis, in the greater 

 number of fin rays (dorsal, 112; anal, 96; caudal, 12, instead of dorsal, 

 93 to 100; anal, 81 to 86; caudal, 12 to 14; in the finer scales (105 

 rather than 85 to 90 between the upper angle of the branchial aper- 

 ture and base of caudal) ; in the larger eye (6.5 rather than 7 to 8 in 

 head) ; in the more vertical and less rounded snout; in the greater 

 curvature of the mouth; in the more obloug or less lanceolate form; 

 and in the color, especially in lacking the bands.
