Length of bead 5i to 5|, of caudal fin 4f to 5, height of body 7 to 7f in the total length. 
Eyes — diameter 2|- in the length of the head, f of a diameter from the end of the snout, 
and rather more than 1 apart. Interorbital space flat or rather concave. Barbels — 
absent. Teeth — rudimentary. Fins — dorsal commences between the hind edge of the 
orbit and the end of the lower caudal lobe, anteriorly it is two-thirds as high as the body. 
Yentrals commence midway between the hind edge of the eye and the base of the caudal 
fin, reaching to the end of the base of tbe anal. Anal begins on a line below the 
middle of the dorsal fin. Scales — 28 rows between the occiput and the base of the dorsal 
fin. Colours — bluish, becoming silvery along the abdomen : pectoral nearly black with 
the first ray white, and an oblique wide white band crossing from its outer edge to a little 
in front of its base. In one specimen the ventral is black tipped : caudal grayish.

Snout blunt, rather overhanging the mouth, body compressed : profile with a considerable 
rise from snout to base of dorsal fin. Fins — dorsal spine strong and posteriorly 
serrated, caudal deeply forked, its lobes acutely pointed. A small horizontal spine in 
front of the dorsal fin pointing forwards and scarcely protruding from beneath the skin. 
Lateral-line — complete. Colours — ^brilliant silvery with lilac and blue shades and a
