N0.12U. GOBTOID FISHES OF JAPAN— JOUDAX AND SNYDER. 63 
growing- lighter toward the base. Pectorals and ventrals suffused 
with dusk}'; a spot about as large as pupil on u])per part of l)ase of 
the former. 
This species is probably closely related to C. virgatulw'i or to G. 
pjlinnn). It more closel}' resembles the former, but may be easily 
distinguished from it by its much less oblique mouth and b}^ having 
larger scales on the nape. In C. vimatuliiM the scales of the nape are 
minute when compared with those of the body, while on the species in 
hand they are at least one-half as wide as those of the body. 
The species is at present known from a single specimen 81 milli- 
meters long, from Wakanoura, Kii, Japan. Type No. 6-l:5(), Leland 
Stanford Junior University Museum.
