 4.3 4.4, 5.3 5.4 in length with caudal. Eye 3.6 4.3, situated 

 about in the middle of the length of the head, rather low 

 down, the middle of the eye being in a level with the cleft of

 nearly thrice in convex interorbital space. Lower jaw strongly 

 ascending from rounded chin. Maxillary barbels much shorter 

 than eye, the rostral ones still shorter. No pores, on snout. 

 Origin of dorsal opposite to Qth scale of lateral line, separated 

 by 1 1 scales from occiput. Dorsal with the anterior rays pro- 

 longed, their height somewhat or much longer than head. 

 Origin of anal opposite to 22nd scale of lateral line, somewhat 

 behind end of dorsal, its anterior rays strongly prolonged, not 

 much shorter than head. Ventrals somewhat longer than pecto- 

 rals, reaching anus or not so far, their origin separated by 

 4*/ 2 scales from loth scale of lateral line and opposite to the
