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
