PISCES ABDOMINALES. CLUPEA. 
No. CCI. 
Glupea corpore lanceolato; processu maxilla superioris retrojlexo, setoso, longissimo. 
The Clupea with a lanceolate body ; a retroflex, setous process of the upper maxilla, 
extremely long.

The form of the body lanceolate; but in most of the other characters, the deciduous scales, the oblique mouth, 
opercula, branchiae, &c. it agrees with the genus; the lateral line nearly middle. What chiefly distinguishes it 
is the length of the maxillary process, which is as long as half the body. 
The jins. The dorsal middle, short, consisting of thirteen declining rays; the pectoral low, small, acumi¬ 
nate above; the ventral of the same form, small; the anal opposite to the posterior part of the dorsal, with 
twenty-five declining rays ; the caudal bifid, the lower lobe longer than the upper. 
The colour omitted in my memoranda ; but to the best of my recollection, it was that of the herring. I found 
it at Bimblipatam, when my painter was not in the way to make a drawing. 
The length, four inches. 
REMARKS. 
This species was found also by Forster in the Pacific Ocean; and an accurate description with a figure has 
been given by Broussonet, from a specimen in the British Museum.*

This, in its form as well as in colour, resembles the herring, only that the head is more richly gilded. The 
mouth, teeth, tongue, eyes, and opercula as in the last. The back nearly straight, sides and tail compressed, 
the breast carinate, the abdomen thin, but convex : neither of them serrated. The denticules of the branchiae 
setaceous and long; the lateral line hardly perceptible. 
The fins. The dorsal nearer the tail than the head, with sixteen declining rays ; the pectoral low; the ventral 
has nine short rays; and the anal, opposite to the dorsal, fifteen very slender rays; the caudal bifid. 
The length, seven inches.
