All the throat, breast & belly below this
point of [illegible]
is white. On the sides from the
middle of the dorsal fin to beyond the eye
is a roughly elliptical area of light gray,
its lower edge bounded by the dark gray
tine which separates it from the ventral
white area. This elliptical light gray
area is 150 mil wide in vertical diameter
at its widest point. It is prolonged
forward along the H of the
V shaped crease on the rostrum, and shades
gradually into the dark gray of the rostrum.
The eye is situated in a pear-shaped area of
dark gray, the anterior end being prolonged
considerably forward. The edge of the
rostrum for a distance of 70 mils from
the point of the V is washed with gray.
The rest of the head to the back is very
dark gray. Opposite the posterior insertion of
the dorsal fin, the dark gray of the back
rises down to meet the white of the belly
in a band 210 mils wide. This dark gray
band divides the light gray area
of the sides of the anterior portion of the
body from an antimerian color on
the lower half of the peduncle which
extends back to the flukes. The median
heel of the flukes is also light gray.
The upper corner of this light gray
