lengtli of the head, which is contained thrice and one-third in the 

 total (withont caudal). There are two longitudinal series of scales 

 between the lateral line and the root of the ventral. A roundish 

 black spot above the lateral line, below the anterior dorsal rays ; a 

 second on the lateral Hne, behind the anal.

The osseous dorsal ray is of moderate strength, finely serrated, and 

 three-fifths as long as the head. There are two series of scales 

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

 of the body is a little more than one-third of the total length (with- 

 out caudal), the length of the head two-sevenths. Snout very ob- 

 tuse, shorter than the diameter of the eye, which is more than two- 

 sevenths of the length of the head, and nearly equal to tlie width of 

 the interorbital space ; barbel very small. Dorsal and anal fins not 

 elevated ; the origin of the former is nearly opposite to that of the 

 venti'al, and midway between the end of the snout and the root of 

 the caudal. Caudal fin moderately forked. Sides of the body and tail 

 with three or four narrow, black vertical streaks, not extending to 

 the back or belly ; a round black spot on the end of the lateral line.

The osseous dorsal ray is rather feeble, evenly serrated behind, 

 shorter than the head. There are three longitudinal series of scales 

 between the lateral line and the root of the ventral fin. Lateral 

 line incomplete. Snout obtuse; the lower jaw received withinthe 

 upper. Upper profile of the head slightly concave. The height of 

 the body is contained twice and one-fifth in the total (without caudal), 

 the length of the head thrice and a half. Barbels two, minute. 

 Origin of the dorsal fin distinctly behind that of the ventral. An- 

 terior anal ray feeble. Body with four brown cross bands — one 

 through the eye, the second before, the third behind the dorsal, 

 the fourth across the end of the tail. Dorsal and ventral fins nearly 

 entirely black.
