Body rather elongate, the dorsal contour arched umler the spinous dorsal, taperhig behind to a slender caudal peduncle, the least depth of which equals eye; head rather small, its upper jji-ofile arched; mouth small, horizontal, maxillary reaching to anterior margin of orbit: teeth in vilil'omi bands on jaws, vomer, and palatines: interorl)ital rather narrow, concave; snout rather sharp and pointed; nasal spines present, rather strong: one pair of supraorbital and two pairs of occipital ciiri, these rather long; preopercle with only one (the upper) spine present, this covered with skin—when exposed it is seen to be rather sharp and stout, curved upward; gill-membranes forming a broad fold across isthmus; no evident slit behind last gill-arch; a rather strong suprascapular spine; spinous dorsal rather high, of uniform height, the slender spines (3 in head) united to their tips by the thin transparent memljrane, the base of spinous dorsal a trifle longer than head: soft dorsal somewliat lower, its rays longer than spines, in head, but slanting backward when fin is extended; base of soft dorsal in head; the anal about the same length: pectoral long, graduated, the lowest raj's short and stout, free at the ends and hooked, the fin extending beyond origin of anal, nearly as long as head; ventral in head, rather long and narrow, extending beyond vent and nearly to base of anal; caudal somewhat narrow, rounded, its length in head.
