Height 3.3 — 3.7 ; 4.4 — 4.7 in length with caudal. Head 

 4.7 — 5.2, 6 — 6.5 in length with caudal. Eye 2.7 — 3, about equal 

 to snout and somewhat shorter than interorbital space. About 

 two series of pores in the forepart of the snout. Maxillary 

 barbels longer than eye and than rostral ones. Origin of dorsal 

 opposite to 8th to loth scale of lateral line, separated by 

 II — 12 scales from occiput. Dorsal with the anterior rays 

 prolonged, about as long as head or longer. Anal with the 

 anterior rays prolonged, shorter than head. Origin of anal 

 opposite to 26th or 27th scale of lateral line and to 19th — 22nd 

 branched dorsal ray. Ventrals and pectorals subequal. Origin 

 of ventrals separated by 5 scales from 14th to 15th scale of 

 lateral line and opposite to 5th — 7th branched dorsal ray. 

 Ventrals reaching anus or nearly so. Pectorals equal to or shorter 

 than head. Caudal deeply incised, the lobes pointed, longer 

 than head. Least height of caudal peduncle more or less than 

 twice in length of head, about 1.3 in its own length, sur- 

 rounded by 16 to 18 scales. Silvery, back dark. Faint dark 

 streaks corresponding to the longitudinal series of scales, mostly 

 composed of small patches on the scales, not visible in 

 alcohol specimens, often with an indication of a large dark 

 blotch at the end of the lateral line. Fins with a dark hue,
