the transverse fold of the lower interrupted in the middle ; barbels 

 small. The origin of the dorsal fin is opposite that of the ventrals, 

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

 Caudal fin deeply forked.

The osseous dorsal ray is rather strong, smooth, its stiff" portion 

 being half as long as the head ; ten soft rays behind it. There are 

 two and a half longitudinal series of scales between the lateral line and 

 the root of the ventral fin. Body slightly compressed, oblong, its depth 

 being contained thrice and three-fourths in the total length (without 

 caudal), the length of the head thrice and one-fourth. Snout rather 

 produced, the hind margin of the orbit being exactly in the middle 

 of the length of the head. The diameter of the eye is somewhat 

 less than the extent of the snout, or than one-fourth of the length 

 of the head. The upper barbel is minute and easily overlooked, the 

 lower about half as long as the eye. Upper jaw overlapping the 

 lower. Interorbital space flat. Origin of the dorsal fin a little in 

 advance of that of the ventral, and nearer to the root of the caudal 

 fin than to the end of the snout. Anal fin moderately deep, its rays 

 not extending to the root of the caudal, if laid backwards. Fork 

 of the caudal fin of moderate depth. Body uniform silvery.

 Each tube of the lateral line is bifid at its extremity. Osseous 

 dorsal ray very strong and serrated, followed by eight soft rays ; its 

 stiff" portion is as long as the head. There are four longitudinal 

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

 Body oblong, compressed, jjrofile of the back arched, its height is 

 contained thrice or thrice and one-fourth in the total length (with- 

 out caudal) ; the length of the head is one-fourth, or a little more 

 than one-fourth, of the same ; the greatest depth of the head is
