Grayish brown, dotted and spotted with darker brown. A black spot upon the angle of 
the operculum. Upon the posterior portion of the dorsal fin is a very broad black spot, 
bounded above and beneath by a yellow line, and some red dots. All the fins are spot- 
ted with brown. It resembles the C, sparoides in the height of its dorsal fin, but its anal fin 
is similar to that of the C. eneus.

7. Centrarchus gulosus, Cuv. 
This species, which was originally supposed by Cuvier to be a Pomotis, is described as 
being similar in its color to the Pomotis vulgaris. The body is less orbicular; the black au- 
ricle is shorter, and it has fewer soft rays in its dorsal and anal fins. The mouth of this 
species is exceedingly large.
