D. 14, 19-21, 9. A. 18-21, 7. Gill-rakers 3 + 10. Vert. 20 + 26. 
Body very deep, deeper than the length of the head, and broadest at the 
hue connecting the origin of the second dorsal and that of the anal. Snout 
short. Small scales are found in the corselet, lateral line, and round the base 
of the fins. They are, however, chiefly concealed under the skin, so that the 
body seems to be entirely naked. Teeth in jaws sharp, elongated, 16-19 in 
the upper, and 13-15 in the lower jaw. Villous teeth on the vomer, palatines, 
and the tongue. Two gill-rakers are found orr the second branchial arch. 
The lateral line runs nearly parallel to the dorsal outline of the body, with 
slight undulations. Many branches on both sides of the anterior half of the 
lateral line are quite similar to those found in C. gvttatum. The rentrais 
are very small, but the other fins are well developed, especially the second 
dorsal, anal, and caudal. Intestine very long, bent more than four times. 
Short blind process at the end of the slender pylorus. Air-bladder wanting. 
Abdominal cavity very low, compared with that of other seerfishes. The 
inner wall of the stomach has about 15 longitudinal folds. Four pyloric tubes 
from the duodenum, of which the second is the longest. 
Occipital crest very high, gradually ascending behind. Hyoid bones, 
clavicle, and hypocoracoid very broad. One auxiliary intermuscular bone in 
the occipital region. In some caudal vertebrae we find a lateral median groove 
on each side, so that their cross-section is more or less octo-radiate. 
The whole body shines brilliantly with a metallic lustre. The back is 
greyish blue, and the belly silvery. There are three or more longitudinal rows
