The height of the body is contained four times and a half or four 

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

 four times and one-third. Snout subconical, much longer than the 

 diameter of the eye, which is from two-sevenths to one-fifth of the 

 length of the head, and equal to, or much less than, the width of 

 the interorbital space. No lower lip. The origin of the dorsal fin 

 is midway between the end of the snout and the base of the caudal, 

 a little behind the origin of the ventral ; in old examples, in which 

 the snout is more elongate, the origin of the dorsal fin is compara- 

 tively nearer to the caudal. There are from five to seven longitu- 

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

 fin. Coloration uniform or irregularly mottled with black. Pha- 

 ryngeal teeth 4 — 4.
