PHILIPPINE MACROUROID FISHES GILBERT AND HUBBS. 419 



4. The second dorsal spine, as in C. marginatus, seems to be the longest in 

 the medium-sized specimens (see the following table of measurements). 



5. The terminal rostral tubercle is relatively much smaller in the large type 

 than in the smaller specimens. 



6. The coloration of the smaller specimens, perhaps to be correlated with 

 their capture at a lesser depth, is much lighter, especially on the fins, than in 

 the larger type. The fact that the largest of the paratypes is much lighter 

 than the other three renders less significant the color difference between the 

 type and the paratypes. In this lightest specimen the fins are white, with the 

 exception of the following parts : the ventral filament, the tips of the anterior 

 anal rays, the second dorsal spine, and the distal portions of the first few rays 

 of the anterior dorsal. 



The buccal cavity is lined with dusky; the branchial cavity with blackish; 



the peritoneal cavity with brownish.
