 edge of fin slightly convex; base about equal to 

 distance from adipose fin, which is preceded by one 

 or two median scutes. Anal I, 6. Pectoral spine 

 extending to base of pelvics. Scutes 22 23/20; 

 humeral shields not in contact below, each separated 

 by one and one-half scutes from base of pelvic fin. 

 A lateral series of four or five dark oblong spots, the 

 third below the adipose fin; a similar series of spots 

 on the back; dorsal dusky anteriorly and usually 

 with spots on the rays; caudal usually barred with 

 series of spots; lower fins immaculate, or anal some-

 over the upper two-thirds of the body. A nearly black, 

 sharply outlined band along the upper half of the dorsal, 

 not quite reaching the posterior margin of the fin. Snout 

 not as deep and body more elongate than in C. julii. 

 Snout and interorbital equal, 2 in the head, eye 5 to 6 in 

 the head. Head 3.25 to 3.5; depth at the genital opening,

mmm. A dark spot at the base of the spine and another near the tip of 



the first three rays. A second spot on the sides near the back 



at the base of the last dorsal rays, and a third just under the 



adipose spine. Four or five large dark spots along the lateral 



line and two or three much smaller ones below it, one just 



beyond the tip of the pectorals and a second above the anal. 



Anal unmarked. Dorsal spine short, 1.6 in the head, equal to 



the snout plus half the eye, shorter than the pectoral spine. 



Snout 2 in the head. Eye 2 in the snout, 3.5 to 4 in the head,

 with the dark bars more or less confluent in front near the base), 

 face with distinct markings. 

 q. Snout with marblings or worm-shaped marks. 



r. Marbling extending over the head, neck, and humeral pro-

 rays in the males, more restricted in young and those of 

 the type of eigenmanni. Male with a broad black band 

 down the lateral line subtended by a satiny white stripe and 

 then by a much narrower black stripe; the region above the
