EIVEEINA. 
This genus is very nearly allied by its form to Murrayia, hut 
the dorsal has twelve spines ; no teeth on the palate. 
EIVEEINA EEUTIATIEIS. 
D. 12/11. A. 3/8. C. 18. P. 16. L. lat. 46, and 5 on 
the Caudal. L. tr. 8^/16^. 
Height three and two-thirds in total length ; the head three and 
six-tenths in the same. General form very much like Murrayia 
JBramoides. Posterior limb of the prseoperculum straight, and 
finely serrated, the denticulations becoming much larger towards 
the angle and on the inferior edge. The two spines of the opercu- 
lum are, the first bifid, and the second tridenticulated ; the dorsal 
has its fifth spine sensibly longer than all the others ; the twelfth 
is longer than the preceding one. The first anal spine is small ; 
the second very thick, but not longer than the third, and blunt. 
The first ray of the pectorals prolongated in a rather long fila- 
ment. 
Same colours as Murrayia Bramoides, but the head of a more 
fleshy colour. 
Murray. I have only seen one specimen.
