This is a smaller and more slender spei'ies than the last, not hein^' 

 very iiill'eieiit in proit trlions froMi I'Ullnnliui Inlrniir Hits, \n\\ with a 

 inoatler and more llatteiied head. 



The head is an elon;;ate oval, sli;;litly trniieat'' in front. The nostiils 

 an' antero lateral, and with a delicate ;;roove coiiiiectinn' with the com- 

 misstire of the month. ( 'anthiis lostralis not marked. The mn//.le is 

 as lon.ii as the iissnre of the eye, while the len;;tii t»f the c:)minissiire of 

 liie month (diagonal line) is ei|nal to the width of the head at the 

 rictus. The tonjj;iie is largely free, the posterioi' pcntitm rather 

 narrowly. The inner nari's are nearer lo;;('ther than the outer. The 

 vomerine teeth commence heliind the nares, and form a siiifi'le series of 

 einht on a rid^e, which is ;;;ently arilied hackwa ds on the median line. 

 Tlie parasphenoid patch does not extend »|iiile foiward to tlie mid- 

 tile of the orbits; it is minh Hatter and wider anteriorly than in 

 .1. httiithris, and con tains opposite the posterior margin of the orbits ten 

 ion^itudinal series of teeth, those oj' adjaceiil rows aiternatin;^'.
