92 TlIK CIIIS.MOI'XKA (CIlIMAKKOl DS). 



shoi'Icr iMi a iiiak', keeled in fi-oiit, liiiid ed^c^s serrated. Indeiilati<iu of the 

 U]iper marji;iii oi tlie second dorsal deejier than that of ('. cdllici, dividing the fin 

 into two distinct une([ual sections of which tlu^ anterior is the shorter. No 

 anal (in. Suhcaudal slightly dee])er and longer than the supracaudal; cavidal 

 filament rndiinentary. Hind margins of ventrals slightly concave; outer 

 edges of these fins longer on female, inner edge longer on male. Pectorals 

 subfalciform, twice as long as wide, hind margin indented, outer angle sharp. 

 Clas]i(>r of male trifid, similar in shape to that of C coUici, apparently bifid hut 

 having the second and third divisions free, not bound together by the skin. 

 In other words the skin of the second division of the clasper is not fused arouiul 

 the distal end of the thii'd division, though the two are closely connected with 

 one another. Lateral line nearly straight along the flank; jugular section meet- 

 ing the postorbital near the junction of the latter with the angular and the 

 suborbital. Description taken from a female of 22 inclies ;md an adult male 

 of 20 inches. 



Colors resembling those of C. coUiei but less red and more silver; spots of 

 white are scattered on the sides much as in that species. 



In shape and coloration these specimens resemble others of ('. coUici, but 

 they are somewhat more elongate, have larger eyes, more falciform pectorals, 

 divided scM'ond dorsals, and the clasper is complete!}' trihd.

Eye rather large, two se\-enths or less of the leiigtli of the head. Head nearly 

 one fourth of the length from snout to supracaudal, little more than half the 

 length of the second dorsal. Pectorals broad, not twice as long as wide; hind 

 margin slightly convex near the outer angle. Outer ends of the ventrals rounded; 

 claspers of male short, not reaching end of ventral tin; ai)parently bifid more 

 than half their length, the cartilages being trifid but two of the three being 

 bound together by the skin at their distal ends. Sub- and supracaudals about 

 erjual in height. Second dorsal nearly twice the length of the head, highest 

 forward, continuous, but descending in the mid length to about one fourth of
