and insertion of fin, just at corner of mouth the black projects into the white in a small semi-circle. The white runs down between pectoralis below & extends backward along the median ventral line. The white does not come up close under the fins or [illegible] a short narrow. The white area is broad between the fins narrowing as it goes backward until at its narrowest point it is 20 cent wide. At then curve abruptly upward & backward along the sides of the peduncle, At the point when it curves backward on the side the white band is 56 cent wide. The central line of the trident runs backward to a little behind vent. Above the genitalia the white is 44 cent wide; the black above the genitalia is 20 cent wide. On the sides of the peduncle the white ends 175 cent, from insertion of pectoralis (anterior) & in the central white line at [illegible] & a little in front of the mark made is a black patch. The upward curve of the white area on the sides, begins 28 cent. from anterior insertion of fin, and ends 170 cent. from insertion of pectoralis (anterior) above black. Below white except for a black band 2 inches wide which runs along the posterior margin across the
