commences midway between the end of snout and the base of the caudal fin; its
undivided rays axe strong, and spinous, the last being strongly serrated along almost
the whole of its posterior edge, and its length equals fth of that of the body heneath
it. The pectoral rather longer than the head. The ventral commences on the vertical
below the last undivided dorsal ray, and reaches above half-way to the anal; the
latter fin when laid flat almost extends to the base of the caudal, which is deeply
forked, its central rays being only equal to fth of the outer ones. The lateral line
descends to above the base of the ventral fin, from which it is divided by three and
half rows of scales. This fish is silveiy-blue along the back, becoming white on the
sides and beneath; some of the soales with dark marks along their bases. A blaok
band down the middle of the dorsal fin. Outer edges of caudal likewise black.
