Body elongate, somewhat compressed. Mouth large ; jaws, palatines, 

 and tongue toothed, as in related genera ; vomer flat, its shaft not 

 depressed, a few teeth on the chevron of the vomer, behind which is a 

 somewhat irregular single or double series of teeth, which in the migra- 

 tory forms are usually deciduous with age. Scales large or small, 110 to 

 200 in a longitudinal series. Dorsal and anal fins short, usually of 10 to 

 12 rays each ; caudal fin truncate, emarginate or forked, its peduncle 

 comparatively stout. Sexual peculiarities variously developed; the 

 males in typical species with the jaws prolonged and the front teeth 

 enlarged, the lower jaw being hooked upward at the end and the upper 

 jaw emarginate or perforate. In the larger and migratory species these 

 peculiarities are most marked. Species of moderate or large size, black- 

 spotted, abounding in the rivers and lakes of North America, Asia, and 

 Europe ; no fresh-water species occurring in America east of the Missis- 

 sippi Valley ; two Atlantic species, marine and auadromous. The non- 

 migratory species (subgenus Triitta) are in both continents extremely
