Lateral line incomplete posteriorly. There are three longitudinal 

 series of scales between the lateral line and ventral fin. The length 

 of the head is nearly equal to the height of the body, and about one- 

 fourth of the total length (without caudiil). The diameter of the eye 

 is one-third of the length of the head. Snout rather pointed ; mouth 

 anterior, oblique, with the lower jaw slightly projecting. Origin of 

 the dorsal fin nearer to the end of the snout than to the root of the 

 caudal. Pectorals terminating at a great distance from the ventrals. 

 A dark literal band runs from the snout to the caudal fin. (Coj^e.) 



Pharyngeal teeth 4 — 4.

 of moderate width, anterior, ■\nth the upper jaw somewhat longer. 

 Both jaws with simple lips, the lower distinct at the angle of the
