Length of the preoral portion of the snout exceeding the width 

 of the mouth by one third, and equalling the distance between the 

 eye and the second gill-opening. A short groove at the angle of 

 the mouth, not extending on to the upper jaw. Nostrils nearer 

 to the opening of the mouth than to the end of the snout. Teeth 

 the bases of those in the upper jaw denticulated on both sides ; 

 those in the lower jaw erect, with smooth edges and a broad base. 

 Fins the length of the base of the anal is equal to about twice its 

 distance from the origin of the ventral ; the pectoral extends to 

 nearly below the hind edge of the first dorsal, its posterior margin 

 is rather concave, its internal equals about one third of the length 

 of its outer edge ; caudal 3| to 3g in the total length. Colour 

 grey or brown, becoming dull white beneath ; the fins grey, the 

 caudal nearly black in its posterior half ; outer half of first dorsal 

 dark ; pectoral and ventral with a light edge.

Snout obtusely rounded ; the distance between the end of the 

 snout and the mouth equals the interspace between the outer 

 angles of the nostrils. No groove at the angle of the mouth. 

 Teeth in the upper jaw oblique, with the outer side of their bases 

 serrated. Fins the pectoral reaches to below the middle of the 

 first dorsal ; the second dorsal commences opposite to or rather 

 behind the origin of the base of the anal. Caudal fin 4 3 in the 

 total length. Colour grey, becoming lighter beneath.

Length of the preoral portion of the snout about equal to the
