whitish. The fins are all dusky. The buccal cavity is lined with 
bluish black, becoming decidedly lighter near mouth; branchial 
cavity lined with brownish black, except on a narrow but abrupt 
whitish margin along the opercular and branchiostegal membranes ; 
the peritoneum is dusky-purplish, underlain by silvery. 
The lighter color and firmer flesh of this species are characters cor- 
related with the lesser depth probably inhabited by it (as compared 
with C. platorhynchus and C. acantholepis). Other distinguishing 
characters are given in the key to the species.
