Dr. Meek (Publ. Columbian Mus., Zool. v. 1904, p. 107) describes this species as 

 having 40 to 46 scales in a longitudinal series. Specimens which I have examined, 

 and which certainly belong to F. grandis as described and figured by Girard, have 

 -36 to 38 scales in a longitudinal series. In females of this species the length of the 

 tube attached to the anal tin is about \ the depth of the fin, in F. lieterocUtu^ about f .
