Cuar. Mouth directed upwards, or more widely cleft and horizontal, 
with a bony prominence more or less distinct, serving as a prensile tooth on the 
symphysis of the lower jaw; colours bright, disposed in spots and streaks, or 
evincing an uniform lustre. The stomach is a lengthened sack ending in a short 
abdominal canal. ‘Three rays in the branchial membrane. 
Ops. Like the Peonomine, they occur only in fresh water, and al- 
though they are generally small, yet from the vast numbers in which 
they abound in every pond they must be considered as of considerable 
importance. 
* It also agrees with that species in the form of its fins; the presence of two very minute cirri 
being my chief reason for separating them, I have not thought it necessary to give a figure. 
+ From LapKoPopoc, carnivorous.
