 longer. — Colours : silvery with two or more vertical rows of bluish blotches 

 along the sides, the upper being about twelve to fifteen, and the lower inter- 

 mediate ; some spots also on the head. Lower half of the dorsal fin slightly 

 grey. Caudal orange, stained with grey and black. Pectoral, ventral, and 

 anal orange, the colours being somewhat similar to those of a trout ; it
