This species is slender and elongated; the head flattened and much 

 depressed; the body depressed; the tail compressed from the base, and 

 considerably longer than the rest of the animal. 



The surface of the skin, though smooth, shows everywhere shallow 

 pits under the microscope, and closely agglomerated granules, the ends 

 of glands, which probably secrete a milky juice. I have not made out 

 any satisfactory indications of patches of pores on top of the head, 

 although there are some on the chin. 



The head is flattened, though not wedge-shaped, quite plane above, and 

 twice as wide as deep. It is longer than wide, the upper jaw overlapping 

 the lower, especially anteriorly; the muzzle is triaugular, broadly trun- 

 cated anteriorly. There is a slight swelling in the upper lip on each side 

 of the muzzle, imparting an emarginated or concave api^earauce to the 

 front view of the mouth, and a concavity to the lateral outline, which 

 posteriorly passes into a convex curve. There is a slight narrowing of 

 the lower jaw to fit into the emargination just referred to. 



The tongue is elliptical, rather longer than wide, inserted on the up- 

 per part of the extremity of a protractile pedecil ; it has no other attach- 

 ment w^hatever. The palatine teeth form a short arc which begins be-
