body is one-fifth of the total length (without caudal), the length of 

 the head one-fourth. Snout of moderate length. The diameter of 

 the eye two-ninths of the length of the head. Anal scales but little 

 developed. {Heck.)

D. 11. A. 8. L. lat. ca 190. 



Cleft of the mouth horseshoe-shaped, broader than long, obliquely 

 ascending forward, the upper jaw being but little longer than the 

 lower ; margin of the lower jaw rounded, without horny covering ; 

 lower labial fold interrupted in the middle. Barbels shorter than 

 the eye. Origin of the dorsal fin nearer to the root of the caudal 

 than to the end of the snout, opposite to the base of the ventral. The 

 osseous dorsal ray is rather sliort and but slightly serrated. Anal 

 fin rather deep, its longest ray extending nearly to the caudal when 

 laid backwards. The height of the body is nearly equal to the 

 length of the head, which is two-ninths of the total (without 

 caudal). Snout of moderate length. The diameter of the eye is 

 contained six times and a half in the length of the head (in a 

 specimen 14^ inches long). Anal scales very large, the Ictrgest 

 broader than the eye. Caudal Jin emarginate. Upper parts with 

 blackish dots. (Heck.)

 D. 11. A. 8. 



Scales minute ; those of the lateral line (which are larger than the 

 others) are said to be 100 in number. Mouth crescent-shaped, 

 broader than long, small, slightly ascending forward, the upper jaw 

 being longer than the lower. Lower jaw with a sharp margin 

 (without horny cover ?). Snout of moderate length ; barbels much 

 smaller than the eye ; lower labial fold interrupted in the middle. 

 Origin of the dorsal fin opposite to that of the ventrals, and nearly 

 midway between the end of the snout and the root of the caudal. 

 The osseous dorsal ray is of moderate strength, and conspicuously 

 serrated ; anal fin of moderate depth, not reaching the root of the 

 caudal when laid backwards. The height of the body is somewhat 

 more than the length of the head, and one-fourth of the total (with- 

 out caudal). Eye small. Anal scales but little developed. (Heck.)
