A very small barbel at the upper end of the maxiUary. The

 is contained four times and one-third in the total (without caudal).

 maxillary extending somewhat beyond the front margin of the eye. 

 Jaws equal in leigth, the lower slightly projecting when the mouth 

 is open. The diameter of the eye is rather less than the Icngl^h of 

 the snout, much less than the width of the interorbital space, and 

 one-fourth of the length of the head. The third suborbital bone is 

 nearly contiguous with the prseopercular ridge. Dorsal fin higher 

 than long, its origin is midway between the occiput and the root of 

 the caudal ; and its last ray is before the vertical from the anal fin. 

 Caud'il fin deeply forked ; pectoral not extending on to the ventral, 

 shorter than the head ; ventral reaching the vent. Pectoral process
