 notes.) Dorsal ])rofile nearly straight. \'eutrals opposite to the mid-

 nearly even. Both jaws armed with strong hooked teeth, a single row 

 on each palate bone, and a double row ou the anterior half of the voaier 

 and on the tongue. The teeth are long, slender, and acute. Lingual i 

 teeth longest and most curved, An oblong plate on the isthmus * 

 which unites the lower ends of the branchial arches rough, with very 

 minute teeth. Sixty-six vertebne in the si)inal coluuni.

 the sides into ash-grey, and into reddish white on the belly. Large 

 patches of dark purplish-red on the back', dorsal and base of tln^ caudal
