D. 13; A. 14; V. 8; P. very Hinall; scales 4-35-5. Least depth of tail ? height of body. Greatest (1(«pth of head about f of its Icugth. Distance between posterior margin of orbit and prooperculuni edge about \ diameter of eye. Snout short, couical, its length about \ diameter of eye. Cleft of mouth somewhat (ibliquo, the lower jaw included. Posterior tip of maxillary distant from allele of preoporculum a space almost equal to length of snout. Origin of dorsal nearer tip of snout than root of caudal by a distance e(iual to f the length of its own base, and inserted nearly over root of ventral, over c-loveuth scale of lateral line, its last ray over vent in advance of origin of anal; pectoral not reaching nearly to vertical from origin of ventral, iU length being equal to \ that of upper jaw, and a little greater than diameter of eye; ventral not reaching to vent, its length equal to about \ that of head. Scales smooth, those of the lateral line not larger than tlio others, the tubes passing through them luminous. Eight scales botween the adipose fin and the margin of the pearl-colored dorsal patch; there are 35 scales in the lateral line, 4 above and 5 below it. The lumin- ous spot, t as long as the diameter of the eye, club-shaped, on the top of 1 ho tail immediately in front of the base of the caudal ray. A similar H])ot on the lower edge of the caudal peduncle, a little in advance of the origin of the caudal rays, its posterior edge about in line with the center of the dorsal patch, its length about f the diameter of the eye ; a lumin- ous gland above and below on caudal peduncle; no postanal
