length of the head, which is contained thrice and one-third in „.ie 

 total (without caudal). There are two longitudinal series of scales 

 between the lateral line and the root of the ventral. A roundish 

 black spot above the lateral Hue, below the anterior dorsal rays ; a 

 second on the lateral line, behind the anal,

The osseous dorsal ray is of moderate strength, finely serrated, and 

 three-fifths as long as the head. There are two series of scales 

 between the lateral line and the root of the ventral fin. The height 

 of the body is a little more than one-third of tne total length (with- 

 out caudal), the length of the head two-sevenths. Snout very ob- 

 tuse, snorter than the diameter of tlie eye, which is more than two- 

 sevenths of the length of the head, and nearly equal to the width of 

 the interorbital space ; barbel very small. Dorsal and anal fins not 

 elevated ; the origin of the former is neai'ly opposite to that of the 

 venti'al, and midway between the end of the snout and the root of 

 the caudal. Caudal fin moderately forked. Sides of the body and tail 

 with three or four narrow, black vertical streaks, not extending to 

 the back or belly ; a round black spot on the end of the lateral line.

The osseous dorsal ray is rather feeble, evenly serrated behind, 

 shorter than the head. There are three longitudinal scries of scales 

 between the lateral line and the root of the ventral fin. Lateral 

 line incomplete. Snout obtuse ; the lower jaw received withinthe 

 upper. Upper profile of the head slightly concave. The height of 

 the body is contained twice and one-fifth in the total (without caudal), 

 the length of the head thrice and a half. Barbels two, minute. 

 Origin of the dorsal fin distinctly behind that of the ventral. An- 

 terior anal ray feeble. Body with four brown cross bands — one 

 through the ej'e, the second before, the third behind the dorsid, 

 the fourth acrosii the end of the tail. Dorsal and ventral fins nearly 

 entirely black.
