 The osseous dorsal ray is strong, smooth, as long as the head, 

 without snout. There are two and a half longitudinal series of 

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

 compressed, oblong ; its depth is one-third of the total length (with- 

 out caudal), the length of the head two-ninths ; snout of moderate 

 length, longer than the eye, which is one-fourth of the length of the 

 head ; interorbital space flat ; upper jaw slightly overlapping the 

 lower ; the anterior barbel is a little shorter than the posterior, 

 which is as long as the eye. Dorsal tin considerably lower than the 

 body ; its origin is in front of that of the ventral, and cons^iicuously 

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

 fin extending to the root of the caudal when laid backwards. Fork 

 of the caudal fin of moderate depth, the middle rays being not quite 

 half as long as the outer longest ones. Uniform silvery, the outer 

 half of the fins blackish.
