r of membrane, close behind it the fine pointed orificeof another. Eye rather large. The back rises gradually tothe dorsal fin; scales very small; lateral line slightly raised,straight, the pores small and very numerous. All the fins havethe membrane dense. The thickness of the body is carriedback to the adipose fin, and more especially in the large example.Dorsal fin high, the rays fourteen, the fourth longest and twolast united. The pectoral reaches three fourths of the distanceto the ventrals, broad, with thirteen rays; anal fin eleven;ventral ten or eleven. Colour of the upper parts black, sidesdark, thickly covered with white spots, as were other examples;belly yellow, but in some a tinge of red, this colour seemingto have vanished from the operation of spirit in which theyhad been preserved.
