CARMAN: PISCES. 121 



Pharyngeal teeth 5 | 5 or 4, compressed with expanded crown. All fins acumi- 

 nate. Pectorals reaching the origins of the ventrals, or a vertical from the fifth 

 ray of the dorsal. Dorsal short, without an osseous ray, entirely in the anterior 

 half of the total length, hardly reaching the mid length when depressed; height 

 equal length of head. Ventrals short ; origins below the third dorsal ray. Anal 

 small; origin equidistant from that of caudal and origins of ventrals. Caudal 

 deeply notched, lobes pointed, upper longer. Lateral line on middle of flank 

 and tail, straight. Scales moderate.

Maxillary barbel reaching behind the middle of the eye. Length of orbit 

 half of its distance from the end of the snout. Pharyngeal teeth in two series 

 5. 2 | 2.5, crowns hooked at the apex. Origins of pectorals below the fourth 

 ray of the dorsal, fins extending to the origins of the ventrals. Ninth ray of 

 the dorsal in the middle of the length from the snout to the base of the caudal ; 

 third ray shorter than the head. Anal origin about midway from ventral 

 origins to base of caudal. Caudal deeply notched, lobes sharp; caudal pedicel 

 elongate, not deep.

Body elongate, slender, depth about one seventh and head one fifth of the 

 total length. Eye moderate, one fifth of the head, nearly two thirds as long as 

 the snout. Snout one third of the head length. Mouth not reaching a vertical 

 from the eye; upper jaws the longer. Maxillary barbels extending farther 

 back than the eye. Dorsal origin above the origins of the ventrals. Outer 

 angles of pectorals and ventrals thread-like, second ray longest. Pectorals 

 reaching behind the bases of the ventrals. Ventrals reaching nearly as far 

 back as the end of the dorsal. Anal origin about midway from origins of ventrals 

 to base of caudal. Caudal deeply notched, lobes acuminate. Middle of dorsal 

 base equidistant from end of snout and base of caudal. Scales large; lateral
