Tliere was a blaek blotrli under the spinous dorsal, one beneath and slightly behind the orbit, and a single bloteh on the middorsal line in the nasal region. A reddish-orange patch, running parallel to the border of the maxillary, extended from a region anterior to and below the level of the orbit to tlie posterior margin of the preopercle.
