Most of the scales of the back and sides with a vertical light bluish 

 stripe, not so distinct as in X. nmndiceps. In the middle of the first 

 dark band, just above the lateral line, are one or two scales of a differ- 

 ent color, the posterior half of each being jet black, the base light blue, 

 the colors abruptly defined. Dorsal with narrow dark stripes running 

 obliquely downward and backward. Anal i)ale, with a conspicuous 

 light horizontal stripe near the tips of the rays; a narrower similar 

 stripe near the middle of the fin. Some bluish clouds on opercle. 

 Some vertical pale blue stripes below eye. Anterior dorsal dusky. A 

 faint dusky streak below eye ; tip of caudal a little dusky. 



64. Caulclatilus princeps (Jenyns) Gill. 



(Caulohttihts affinis Gill, Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phila. 1865, 67.) 



5789. (Type of Canlolatilus affinis.) One very young example, about 

 3 inches long, badly shrivelled. So far as we can see the number of 

 fin rays in this specimen is not less than usual in the species to which 

 it belongs.

{Labrosomus xanti Gill, Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phila. 1860, 107.) 



2334, 7050, 7314. Many specimens, of various sizes, some of them types 

 of Labrosomus xanti. 



This species is extremely close to the Clinus nucMpinnis^ differing in 

 the specimens examined, in the arrangement of the teeth on the vomer. 

 In xanti there are three large bluntish teeth forming a triangle; in 

 nucMpinnis., one large tooth and about six smaller ones forming a V- 

 shaped figure. In nuchipinnis there is always a distinct black blotch
