B. III. D. 3/9, P. 15, V. 9, A. 3/5, C. 17, L. 1. 22, L. tr. 4/5. 



Length of head 1/5, of caudal 1/5, height of body 1/4, height 

 of dorsal fin 1/8 of the total length. 



Eyes. Diameter 2/9 of length of head, 1^ diameters from end 

 of snout and apart. 



Head much compressed ; the whole of the cheeks covered with 

 pores ; the posterior extremity of the maxilla extends to below the 

 anterior margin of the orbit. Eostral barbels reach to beneath 

 the centre of the orbit, the maxillary to the angle of the pre-opercle. 

 Mouth inferior, upper jaw the longest. 



Fins. Dorsal arises midway between the snout and the base of 

 the caudal, commencing slightly in advance of the ventral s, its 

 last undivided ray is osseous, not enlarged, and entire. Upper 

 caudal lobe longest. 



Lateral line — complete, 3£ rows of scales between it and the 

 base of the ventral fin. 



Colours. Silvery, fins stained darker.

Length of head (in a stuffed specimen) 2/13, of caudal 1/6, 

 height of body 1/6 of the total length. 



The species is elongated ; snout rather conical, with the mouth, 

 though somewhat on the inferior surface, directed anteriorly, whilst 

 the upper jaw is the longest. 



Barbels apparently short. 



Fins. Osseous dorsal ray strong, entire, its stiff portion being 

 three quarters as long as the head, the fin commences opposite the 

 ventrals, and midway between the end of the snout and the base of 

 the caudal, the latter being deeply forked, and its lower lobe the 

 longest. Pectoral extends half way to the base of the ventral.
