Diiskj" grayish 5 most of pectoral, tip of caudal, and anterior portion 
of both dorsals black. Snout depressed, rather long, but rounded at 
tip ; nostrils considerably nearer mouth lhan tip of snout ; the anterior 
lobe with a small ]iointed tip; interorbital space a little less than length 
of snout; teeth about f|, the four or five teeth nearest the middle of the 
jaw much smaller than the others; median tooth of each jaw smallest, 
subtriangular, without basal cusps; lateral teeth of both jaws similar, 
with their points strongly directed outwards; a sharp angle near the 
middle of the outer margin, below which are 2 to 5 sharp cusps or ser- 
rations; labial folds moderate. Eye large, the small spiracles sei^a- 
rated from it a distance about equal to its diameter. Head with many 
mucous pores. Distance between angles of mouth nearlj' twice length 
of mouth, and equal to length of snout from mouth. Pectoral fin mod- 
erate. reaching somewhat beyond front of dorsal, its tip somewhat 
pointed, its free edge concave. Middle of first dorsal nearly midway 
between pectorals and ventrals, its anterior lobe rounded, posterior, 
acute; second dorsal scarcely one-fourth as large as first, a trifle larger 
than anal, which is inserted slightly farther back.
