edge; 2 opercular3, upper larger and in line with lower eye edge and 
upper subpectoral, lower veiled, little below and behind hind maxillary 
end; 3 veiled equidistant branchiostegals; 5 pectorals, first inter¬

before bases of median pectoral fin rays; 4 ventrals, at same level, at 
gradually decreasing intervals, first interspace longest; 1 supra-

lower than to upper supraventral which well below lateral line or at 
upper 2/5 of space; 1 posterolateral behind last anteroanal and below 
lateral line same space as upper supraventral; 3 precaudals, well 
separated from posteroanals in nearly straight inclined row to upper,
