26 Annals of the Carnegie Museum. 



Occipital process triangular, not quite one-fourth of the distance from 

 its base to the dorsal ; bordered by three scales ; interorbital convex, 

 fontanels narrow, the anterior shorter than the parietal ; second sub- 

 orbital deep, leaving a wide naked area ; maxillary about 3. 5 in the head; 

 three or four teeth in the outer row of the premaxillary ; five gradu- 

 ated teeth in the inner series, expanded at top, the denticles in a 

 crescent, the middle one not notably larger or longer than the others ; 

 three or four similar teeth in the maxillary ; dentary with eight to ten 

 graduated teeth, similar to those of the premaxillary, but with longer me- 

 dian point ; all the teeth brown tipped. 



Gill rakers short 6+10. 



Scales regularly imbricate, no omitted or interpolated series; lateral 

 line nearly straight ; axillary scale small ; anal sheath of a few 

 scales in a single series along the base of the anterior rays. Caudal 

 naked. 



Ventrals in advance of the vertical from the dorsal ; origin of dorsal 

 in the middle or slightly in advance of the middle, its highest ray 3.75 

 in the length ; twelfth anal ray J to about half as high as the highest, 

 the anal margin concave or not ; pectorals reaching slightly beyond 

 origin of ventrals, ventrals not quite to anal. 



Cheeks and opercles punctate ; a well-developed humeral spot in a 

 vertical humeral band ; a second band in front of the dorsal shading 

 into the much punctate sides ; a black median line ; from which black 

 streaks branch along the muscle septa at every other myotome ; a con- 

 spicuous, large caudal spot not continued to the end of the middle 

 rays. Dorsal, adipose, caudal, and anal punctate, the latter sometimes 

 most so along the base and tip. 



There are also in the collection : 



Cotypes, 41 specimens, 21-68 mm. Amatuk. (C. M. Cat. No. 



1050, a-j ; I. U. Cat. No. 11741.) 



Cotypes, 7 specimens, 20-69 mm - Waratuk. (C. M. Cat. No. 



105 1, a-b ; I. U. Cat. No. 11 742.) 



Cotypes, 3 specimens, 23-40 mm. Savannah Landing. (C. M. 

 Cat. No. 1052 ; I. U. Cat. No. 11 743.) 



These differ from the typical specimens described in that the color 

 along the side is in a dark band instead of pinnately distributed, con- 

 tinued to the caudal spot which is continued to the end of the middle 

 caudal rays. A. 23-25. 1. 1. 37, 37, 38, 38, 39, 40 in the 6 

 largest from Amatuk.
