These data (value, followed in pa- rentheses by the number of specimens) fol- low: first dorsal fin VII (50); second dor- sal fin I, 8 (50); anal fin II, 8 (49) or rarely II, 7 (1); pectoral fin (left side, or if dam- aged the right) 16 (1), 17 (28), 18 (20) or 19 (1); gill rakers on first arch 5 (1), 6 (39) or 7 (10) +1 + 14 (16), 15 (32) or 16 (2) totaling 20 (2), 21 (13), 22 (24) or 23 (11); branchiostegal rays 4 + 3 (50); complete rows of scales between origin of first dorsal fin and lateral line 4 (50); be- tween lateral line and origin of anal fin 15 (5), 16 (37) or 17 (8); scales in lateral line from origin to base of mid-caudal ray 49 (3), 50 (14), 51 (18), 52 (8) or 53 (7); one to four lateral line scales on caudal fin, some of these frequently missing and ap- parently more numerous in larger than in smaller specimens. Vertebrae, 10 + 14 + 1 = 25 (8) or 10 + 13 + 1 = 24 (1). Body compressed and relatively shallow, its greatest depth (at origin of first dorsal fin) to in , its greatest width (im- mediately behind orbit) to in great- est depth. All of body and head, except for the snout anterior to eye, covered by ad- herent ctenoid scales, the cteni of which are continuous with transverse ridges on the surface of each scale. Squamation es- sentially complete at 30 mm , but at this size the cteni and associated ridges are scarcely evident. Scales of lateral line nor- mal, the line terminating with one, two or three pored scales overlying central rays of the caudal fin. The other fins, both
