The club suckers are very minute and possess a smooth ring; 
they are placed in about eight rows at the centre of the club. 
The epidermis is wanting in many parts but the colour seems to 
have been buff covered very densely with purple or black 
chromatophores, which are present on both sides of the fins also. 
Such of the surface as is entire seems to be smooth.
