X HIS species agrees in its general appearance 

 with the tub fish,* but differs in these parti- 

 culars. 



The covers of the gills are radiated; the spines Descrip- 

 are longer and slenderer; the nose armed on each 

 side with two sharp spines ; the fins and body are 

 of a fuller red ; the scales are larger ; the head 

 less and narrower ; the pectoral fins are edged 

 with purple, not with blue, and are much shorter, 

 for when extended they do not reach to the anal 

 fin. The side line is nearly smooth; the top of 

 the back less serrated than that of the tub fish ; 

 the tail red and almost even at the end.
