The height of the body is one-third of the length (to the fork of caudal) ; the length 
of the head is contained thrice and two-thirds in the same. Snout rather longer than 
the diameter of the eye. Operculum twice as high as long. Belly strongly compressed, 
very sharp, but not very distinctly serrated. The origin of the dorsal is nearer the end 
of the snout than the root of the caudal ; its last ray is very slightly produced, longer 
than the two or three before it, but not half that of the longest one, which is contained 
twice and two-thirds in the height of the body. The anal is very low, and occupies 
the distance of ten transverse series of scales. Boot of the pectorals below the middle 
of the dorsal. Colour blue above, silvery below. In adults there is a very distinct 
round blackish spot on the shoulder, behind the operculum, which is inconspicuous in 
young specimens.
