As seen from above, the terminal portion of snout is broadly triangular, tapering rapidly forward to the angular tip, which is aljout on level of middle of eye; maxillary reaching to or slightly beyond hinder margin of orbit, its length slightly less than half length of head; outer series of enlarged teeth in upper jaw weakly arrow-shaped, the shape most apjiarent in the lateral teeth of the series; the villiform mandibular teeth are in 3 irregular series and have distinctly arrow-shaped tips, as have also those of the mandibular band, which are arrangt'd in 2 irregular series; angle of preopercle produced, the posterior margin running obliquely upward and forwarening; in some si)ecimens the 2 areas seem to be connected by a narrow naked line, in others by a broader naketl streak, but it is considered probable that tln'se con- ditions were due to the loss of scales; distance between dorsals varying from tn ice to nearly thrice the base of anterior dorsal; mouth-cavitj' white, black only in extreme posterior part; gill-ca\'ity largely white anteriorly, black above gills, on opercular region, and lining of Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work
