Top of liead Hat between the ridges, wliich are rougheiU'd ami entirely similar to those in ninix. 

 Manihlile projecting nmch at tip, but laterally inclndi'd; premaxillaries with a double notcli anteriorly 

 to receive mamlibnlar tip; a short filament on upper )iarf of eye-liall, and a smaller broader jprocess 

 behind it, tins jirocess lacking in m/iM ,• process on anterior inaigin of preorbital bearing2 more or less 

 diverging sharii si>ines, not 3 as in rorn.r. Spine at angle of preopercle similar, long, comiiressed at 

 base and curved; two shorter spines directed downward and forn-ard on horizontal lindi, and scjuie 

 irregular serrulations on vertical limb of i)reo|iercle; opercle without spine, very thin and flexilile, 

 striate, with a wide mendiranous margin which is much more coarsely fringed than in mmx; teeth 

 similar, but more slender and less curved; but 2 or 3 small teetli direc'ted backward on each side 

 of head of vomer, these w<irking directly against 2 small |iatches of similar teeth on tlie basibranchials 

 nf the fourth ai'cli; ii') tongue jiresent; awideslit behiiid the fourth gill-arch; pseudobranchije ])resent; 

 •jill-rakers 2 ; 12ontirst arch; gill-meudiraiK's not united; anterior end of gill-slits vertically below 

 nostrils; branchiostegals 7. 



First dorsal shorter than iu C. nirnx and more posteriorly inserteil; also less widely separated from 

 soft dorsal; spines usually 4 in nund>er (4 in 10 specimens, 5 in 5 specimens counted), while in rnrax 

 they are usualb 5, rarely (i. Pectorals very slender and short, with very tine rays, their length 

 eijualing that of snout and half eye; ventrals with the fourth ray longest, reaclnnganus; caudal widely 

 forked; all the dorsal rays save the first are once forked nc-ar the tip, the liranches not divergent, the 

 last rav cleft to base; anal rays similar to those of dorsal. 



Scales a little coai-.ser than in riirnx: each si'ale sidicircular, attached centrally, elevated alxive the 

 General surface, the margins free; posterior margin of eaili side with from 3 to ti strong spines, of which 

 the central ones are the longest; scales closely adherent, and c-oni]iletc ly in\esting lieail and body; 

 the lireast and belly, the oiiercles, excejpt only the thin meml)ranous margin, the cheeks, snout and 

 top of head, the maxillary, premaxillary and maudilile and the gular mendirane, all clo.sely covered; 

 two lateral lines present on side, a line on each side of occi|mt running backward along base of spinous 

 dorsal, mmierous lines on head, and many cross lines above the upper lateral line and below tlie 

 lower. Sensorv organs are loilged in small freely-iiriijecting jiapilke, which project among the scales. 



Color dusky brownish on back with 3 faint broad dark cross-bars; sides and below silvery, the 

 sides sjieckled with brownish; fins all whilisli, unmarked. 



Manv specimens were obtained at station 4101, but the si)ecies was not obtained elsewlu're. In 15 

 specimens e.xamined, tliedor.'^al and anal fin counts are as follows: Dorsal iv-lS, anal Pi, I specimen;
