Ctenoid ; lateral line with 30 (), 31 (), 32 {), 33 () or 34 () scales ; cheek with 2 or 3 (mode) rows. Five to b\ (mode 5J) scales between the upper lateral line series and the dorsal fin origin, 6-8 (mode 6) between the pectoral and pelvic fin bases. Fins. Dorsal with 14 (), 15 () or 16 () spinous and 8 (), 9 () or 10 () branched rays. Caudal subtruncate, scaled on its basal half, or a little beyond. Pectoral 26-6-33-6 (M = 30-3) per cent of standard length, 8o-o-97-8 (M = 90-0) per cent of head. Pelvics with the first two rays produced, especially in adult males. Teeth. The outer row of teeth in both jaws (text-fig. 3) is composed principally of relatively stout, well-spaced, unequally bicuspid teeth ; anterioriy in the lower jaw, the teeth are implanted so as to slope forward at a slight 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 British Museum (Natural History).
