The osseous dorsal ray is rather strong, its stxtf portion being as 

 long as the head, without snout ; its serrature is very conspicuous 

 though rather fine. There are two and a half longitudinal series of 

 scales betAveen the lateral line and the root of the ventral fin. Body 

 strongly compressed, somewhat elevated, as in Leuciscus rutilus, with 

 the profile of the back arched ; its depth is two-fifths or one-third 

 of the total length (without caudal) ; head of moderate size, its 

 length being contained twice and three-fifths in the total (without 

 caudal) ; snout short, but somewhat pointed, as long as the diameter 

 of the eye, Avhich is more than one-fourth of the length of the head ; 

 barbels well developed, much longer than the ej-e. The origin of 

 the dorsal fin is somewhat behind the vertical from that of the veii- 

 trals, and midway between the end of the snout and the root of the 

 caudal. Generally with a small blackish spot at the base of the 

 anterior dorsil rays, and with another, less distinct, on the middle of 

 the root of the caudal.
