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
