fishes, but a small spine lying close on the first ray of the ramous, dorsal, and anal fins, is oftener in this found 
with the point separated, than in the former. The two-rayed anal fin, in both, is in a groove, like the first 
dorsal. The pin nuke are connected, as in the former. 
The colour. The upper part of the head green, the rest white, the back a deep blue, fading into white ; the 
spots dusky, with an obscure bluish cast. The fins glassy, the pectoral and ventral a little yellow. 
Length, seven inches.

The body, as in the last, lanceolate, but covered with very minute, smooth scales. 
The head naked, and the mouth, jaws, eyes, and nostrils, as in the genus. The teeth acerose; the tongue 
ovate, smooth, free; the palate tuberculate; the throat rough; the opercula less orbicular than in the last 
species, or than usual in the genus. The branchial membrane has six rays only. 
The trunk. The lateral line chiefly remarkable by being highly carinate, and the posterior part broad, bony, 
and prickly. The anus behind the middle. 
The fins. The dorsal and anal fins differ from the preceding species. The first dorsal consists of eight 
slender, long, spinous rays ; the second of thirty-one soft, simple rays, without any appearance of pinnuke; 
the second anal has twenty-four similar rays; the other fins are ramous as usual, but the pectoral is longer 
and more pointed. On each edge of the tail, near the caudal fin, is a small distinct pinnula. 
The general colour of the head and back a bright lead, softening downwards into white. The fins glassy, 
the caudal slightly yellow. 
The length, between six and seven inches.
