Form rather elongate, stout anteriorly, compressed and tapering behind 

 the abdominal chamber, depressed on head and snout, and flattened under 

 the belly. Body cavity about three sevenths of the length without the 

 caudal, or three eighths of the total length, longer in females than males. 

 On an average specimen the length of the head equals its depth, which 

 equals either depth or width of body, and is contained four and two thirds 

 times in the length, excluding the caudal fin. Snout broad, blunt, rounded, 

 twice as long as the eye, one third of the length of the head. Mouth 

 moderate, anterior, its angles anterior to half-way from eye to end of 

 snout. Lips slightly swollen ; lower short, interrupted below the sym- 

 physis of the jaws, a little more than one third of the width of the mouth. 

 A secondary lip, or fold, above the upper, with six to eight notches, at the 

 openings of the pores. Teeth small, in pavement, alternating in the dif- 

 ferent series, base round, apex compressed, tricuspid. From each side of 

 the middle of the chin a series of seven pores extends backward and curves 

 up the side of the head to a line from the eye to the gill opening. The 

 upper pore is about midway between the opening and the eye ; five of the 

 pores are on the lower surface. In the edge of the fold just above the
