1. The fore part of the body forms, through the conjunction of the 

 breast-fins with the snout, a disk. The breast-fins four-cornered 

 separated from the head portion of the disk by a notch, not reaching 

 the belly-fin';. First back-fins above the belly-fins. Tail-fin two- 

 lobed, with the upper lobe a little larger. The side keels are 

 continued along the tail-fin. Mouth undulated. Three protube- 

 rances of the under-jaw correspond with an equal number of depres- 

 sions in the upper-jaw. The teeth are longer on the summit of 

 the undulations. Nostrils slit lengthways near the mouth, with a 

 flap above and below, The upper one stands out in two parts, one 

 outer, more slender, and longer rounded lobe, and one inner shorter 

 and broader, which are separated from one another by a notch more 

 or less deep. — Rhine.
