General color, reddish brown, thi.s appearance due to the reddish brown 

 punctulations at the ])osterior edge(3f the scales, these punctulations more 

 numerous and giving the tish a somewhat darker appearance on the entire 

 part of the body above the median line, and on the posterior part of 

 entire body from origin of anal ; centers of scales light, except those be- 

 tween ventral and pectoral fins and median line, where the scales have a 

 silvery reflection; a very dark oval or nearly round spot, about the size 

 of eye, on last scales at base of caudal and extending slightly beyond the 

 scales on to the rays of the caudal ; fins with some reddish brown body 

 color, growing lighter toward tips where there are indications of dark 

 punctulations; a narrow darkish lateral stripe, growing silvery anteriorly. 



This species is very closely related to C. insignis, but differs in the very 

 peculiar teeth, the larger eye, the fewer anal rays and the slightly shorter 

 dorsal ray.
