Poctoral.s rcachiiiff lialf way acn)s.s the bases of the vciitfals, loiijier than 

 those of C. smylhii, Httlo shorter than those of C. rniH'usis. Origin of I he 

 first dorsal sliglitly tu'liiiul the origins of the peetorals. Origin of the second 

 dorsal nearly ahove tlie origins of the ventrals; end of the l)ase of the second 

 dorsal soniewiiat farther forwtird than the origin of the anal. Siihcandiil lohe 

 ]iro(hic(>d to ;i ]ioint anteriorly, behind the anal. Interdorsid space about one 

 and one fifth times the length of the base of the lirst dorsal. Dorsal spine about 

 twice as long as the distance from the spine to the orbit. lOach palatine lamina 

 of the adult specimens at hand has but a single tritor; the fused ]-)ortion of 

 this is m.assive and broadly rounded; the prongs in front are rather short and 

 thick, the outer one being especially so. 



Lateral line irregular and waved much like that of ('. rdpctisis. The front ;il 

 tenaculum, as in all the species of the genus, when viewed from above is sul)- 

 triangular, broad on the articiilatioti, wide and short iti the stem. 



Brownish silvery. A dorsal band of deeper lirown is interrupted by the 

 fins, and j'ounger specimens have a dark spot immediately in front of the dorsal 

 spine and a dark area above the orbit, ^'erv young are more sjiotted. \'aiia- 

 tions are numerous. 



Off coasts of southern South America.

Pectorals appearing long and pointed, reaching the bases of the ventrals 

 and beyond. Origin of the hrst dorsal a little forward of the in.sertions of the 

 pectorals; sjiine more than twic(> a-^ long as its distance from the orbit, reaching 

 two thirds of the distance from the origin of the lirst dor.sal to that of the second. 

 Origin of the .second dorsal little behind a vertical from the origins of the 

 ventrals. Lateral line decidedly irregular, wilh short bends. 



On a thirty-three inch specimen the frontal tenacidnm is not yv\ through the 

 skin, the dorsal spiii(> is one and one thiivl times tlie length of the sptice betw(-en
