Length of head 4| to 5, of candal 5^, height of body 6f to 6 in the total length. Eyeâ^with a wide posterior adipose lid almost extending to the pupil, and a narrow anterior one, diameter 6^ to 7 in the length of the head, 1|^ diameters from end of snout, and nearly 3 apart. Interorhital space flat, and its width equal to a little more than half the length of the head excluding the snout. Height of head not so long as its postorbital portion, whilst its width equals its length behind the middle of the eyes, or even of its entire length in large specimens. Head flattened superiorly : the depth of the cleft of the mouth equals half the width of its gape. The upper lip forms the end of the snout. The end of the maxilla is not hidden by the preorbital, which last is bent but not notched, serrated along its lower and posterior borders. Uncovered space on chia long, cuneiform above, pointed behind. Teethâin the upper jaw minute. Finsâdorsal spines strong, the fin commences midway between the front edge of the eye and the base of the caudal fin, its origin corresponds to the tenth scale of the lateral-line, the height of the spines is 2/3 of that of the body, and equal the height of the second' dorsal. Pectoral extends to the eighth scale of the lateral-line, its root is in the middle of the depth of the body. The fii'st three anal rays are on the vertical before the second dorsal fin.
