How do I use jQuery to select DOM elements that do not have ID or CLASS name tags?

I noticed that Chrome debugger shows the DOM location on the bottom taskbar which is very helpful.

QUESTION:
What would be the jQuery() selector for the following DOM element?

Here is a screenshot of my Chrome Debugger.

Instead of writing a complex query selector use something like this:

$("table").eq(1);

This selector will grab the second table on the page
