Depth 5; head 2 3/4, width 2 l/8. Snout 2 7/8 in head measured to 
1 l/2 in bony interorbital 
eye; orbit 4 l/5; eye 7, 2 l/2 in snout, 2 in interorbital; A maxillary 
reaches 3/4 in eye, expansion 1 3/5, length 2 in head; interorbital 3 l/2, 
level, followed by concavity on cranium before occiput. Gill rakers 2 ^ 14, 
flexible, lanceolate; l/2 of eye, subequal with gill filaments. 
Scales 108 in lateral line to caudal base; 12 above, 16 below, 75 
predorsal to occiput. Vertical fins with some basal scales. Scales largely 
adherent in pockets when present, deeply imbedded, small, rounded, thin; 
circuli ill defined, imperfectly longitudinal, over which feebly defined 
concentric whorls, ^ead naked. 
D. 17, rays broken, longest apparently about subequal with orbit, fin 
base 2 4/5 in head, fin origin midway between end of depressed pectoral and 
caudal base; A. 24, rays broken, fin height at least equals orbit, fin base 
2 in head, fin origin little before dorsal origin; caudal damaged, apparently 
emarginate, rudimentary rays 15 above or below, incconspicuous; pectoral 
3 3/4 (?) in head, rather small; ventral inserted little nearer anal origin, 
than pectoral origin, fin small, apparently long as orbit (?); vent midway
