BULLETIN OF THE BfJEEAU OF FISHERIES. 



of maxillaiy, their length 2 in head, their tips reaching first anal spine; pectoral 1.1 in head, the tip reaching 

 origin oi^ anal; caudal deeply forked, its length 1.1 in head. 



Color in spirits, yellowish white, a tint of blue above; tip of snout and tip of under jaw dusky; no distinct 

 opercular spot, but posterior margin of opercles with some slight shading of dusky; dorsals slightly tinted with 

 dusky, most distinct on margin of soft dorsal; scarcely a trace of dusky on tip of caudal; pectorals, ventral.3, 

 and anal unmarked. 



This species is near C. loops, of which wc have many specimens. It may be at once separated, however, by 

 the more anterior location of the anal spines, the less projecting under jaw, greater length of head, and greater 

 width of the interorbital space.
