There are three and a half longitudinal series of scales between the 

 Ititeral line and the root of the ventral fin. Body rather elongate, 

 its depth being less than the length of the head, which is contained 

 four times and one-third in the total (without caudal). The origin 

 of the dorsal fin is considerably in advance of that of the ventral, 

 and nearer to the end of the snout than to the root of the caudal. 

 Caudal fin deeply foi'ked. Silvery ; body with very indistinct, irre- 

 gular, blackish dots.

Two barbels only. Three longitudinal series of scales between 

 the lateral line and the root of the ventral fin. The height of the 

 body is two-niiiths or one-fifth of the total length (without caudal) ; 

 the length of the head two-elevenths. The eye is situated a little 

 behind the middle of the length of the head, and is two-thirds of 

 that of the snout. Coloration uniform, sometimes a dark baud along 

 the middle of the side.

Barbels four, the upper of which are longer than the lower, and 

 much shorter than the eye. Three longitudinal series of scales be- 

 tween the lateral liiie and the root of the ventral fin. The height 

 of the body is nearly equal to the length of the head, which is two- 

 ninths of the total (without caudal). The eye occupies the middle 

 of the lengtli of the head, and its diameter is three-fourths of that 

 of the snout. A silvery band runs along the side, in the middle of 

 which sometimes runs a dark streak. A round blackish spot on the 

 end of the lateral line.
