132 " ENDEAVOUR " SCIENTIFIC RESULTS. 



adpressed. Anterior dorsal and anal rays a little longer 

 than the others, but not forming lobes. Pectoral reaching 

 far beyond the curve of the lateral line to above the anterior 

 portion of the anal. Ventrals extending a little beyond the 

 vent, not nearly reaching the anal spines. Caudal deeply 

 forked. 



Colour. Silvery, darker above. Two specimens have seven 

 to nine, broad, dark bars descending from the back to the 

 lateral line which are bilaterally symmetrical in one, and 

 differently disposed on each side in the other ; two other 

 specimens are without traces of these bands. A large, 

 rounded, dark, blotch on the upper part of the operculum. 

 First dorsal greyish, the other fins lighter, with microscopic 

 grey dots. 



The above description is mainly based on two examples 

 165 and 234 mm. long from the premaxillary symphysis to 

 the end of the middle caudal rays. The figure represents 

 the smaller specimen. 



I have compared these specimens with one of the types of 

 C. nigripinnis, Day, which is part of Day's collection in the 

 Australian Museum, and find no differences between them. 

 Day's specimen has several minute vomerine and palatine 

 teeth, though his description states that these are absent ; 

 his figure also illustrates the head as lower and the snout 

 more acute than it is. Another specimen in the same 

 collection is labelled as a co-type of C. malam, Bleeker, which 

 does not differ from the type of C. nigripinnis.
