The height of the body equals the length of the head, and is one- 

 fifth of the total. Upper lip verj' thick, especially on the sides, and 

 with a fold, but without fringes. The width of the interorbital space 

 is two-fifths of the length of the head. The snout ])r()jucts beyond 

 the mouth ; the prajorbital is strongly cmarginate anteriorly, and 

 does not entirely cover the maxillary. The lower jaw has a very 

 distinct notch at tlie symphysis, but scarcely any trace of a tubercle.

The height of the body is contained four times and two-thirds or 

 five times in the total length, the length of the head five times and a 

 half. The snout is broad and depressed ; 

 the interorbital space slightly convex, its 

 width being nearly one-half of the length 

 of the head. The upper lip is veiy thick, 

 with three series of short broad papillao 

 on its inferior half. The angle made by 

 the two mandibular)' bones is obtuse ; the 

 praiorbital has an indistinct longitudinal 

 ridge, and does not entirely cover the 

 maxiUary bone ; its extremity is rounded, - 

 the anterior angle being not much wider 

 than the posterior. Eyes without adi- 

 pose membrane : nostrils close together ; they are less distant from 

 each other than the posterior is from the eye. The chin is entirely
