The osseous dorsal ray is strong, smooth, its stiff portion being 

 somewhat more than half as long us the head. There are three 

 series of scales between the lateral line and the root of the ventral 

 fin. Lips without lobes. The height of the body is one-fourth of 

 the total length (without caudal), the length of the head two-ninths. 

 Head longish, snout rather produced. The origin of the dorsal fin 

 is somewhat behind* the vertical from the root of the ventrals, and 

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

 Caudal deeply forked. Pectoral as long as the head, terminating, 

 in adult examples, at a distance from the ventrals inferior to its own 

 length. {Riijpp.)

The osseous dorsal ray is strong, smooth, its stiff portion being 

 only about two-thirds as long as the head. There are four series of 

 scales between the lateral Une and the roo^- ^f the ventral fin. Lips 

 without lobes. The height of the body is contained twice and three- 

 fourths in the total length (without caudal), the length of the head 

 four times and a half. Head somewhat depressed, small ; snout of 

 moderate length. The origin of the dorsal fin is somewhat before 

 the vertical from the root of the ventrals, and rather nearer to the 

 end of the snout than to the root of the caudal. Caudal forked.
