The back is leaden- coloured, wdth violet reflections, and covered with rather large, pur- plish spots. There are some small brown spots on the dorsal. The pectorals and anal are yellowish. The ventral is white. The caudal, somewhat forked, is grey, without spots. The entire fish is shining silvery. (Valenc.)
