 is moderately strong, two- thirds as long as the head, and coarsely 

 serrated posteriorly. Anal nearly reaching the caudal when laid 

 backwards, whilst the latter fin is truncated.

Length of the head and caudal each, about 1/5 (4/21), height of 

 body 1/6 of the total length. 



Eyes. Diameter 1/4 of length of head, 1| diameters from end 

 of snout. 



Interorbital space slightly convex, snout pointed. Mouth in- 

 ferior, breadth of gape equalling the depth of the cleft, the upper 

 jaw projecting and having a broad fleshy lip with a free superior 

 margin. Edge of lower jaw slightly compressed, having internally
