The height of the body is one-third of the length without the 

 caudal fin, and is a little more than the length of the head. The 

 eye which is two-thirds hidden by an adipose membrane, is distant 

 from the point of the snout about one and a-half of its diameter ; 

 the profile of the head is longer and flatter than in C. Erebi. The 

 abdomen is strongly serrated along its whole length, the scales are 

 not deciduous. The last dorsal ray reaches to the commencement of 

 the caudal fin ; the ventrals commence opposite the third ray of 

 the dorsal. The colour is silvery, with the back and fins darker. 

 Length, 11 inches.
