Body flat above and below. Mouth at the fore end of the snout. 

 Eyes on the dorsal aspect. Spout-holes large behind the eyes. The 

 large anteriorly expanded breast-fin interposes the fore end of its 

 root between the head and body, and is divided from them by a fur- 

 row. In the depth of this furrow lie the gill-openings, which follow 

 close to one another and are separated merely by folds of skin.
