light slate color - from ear to flukes on back +
copper sets ground color is light blue gray -
aline going
just over fins forward to eye is a mass
of very light gray markings, small + very thick;

the finnowers to a point about three feet beyond
the tip of its fin last back, where they end.

light blue gray, marked only in the foremany
places ; in scattered places with darker
blue gray ; from a little behind awns on
sides there are very few darker markings
+ these cease altogether just about 3 feet

from
the chin lips + throat to Vulva back on sides
of peduncle there are some of exactly the
same markings as were on the Finback.
