Length of head 2/11, of caudal 2/11, height of body 2/11 of the 

 total length. 



Eyes. Diameter 2/9 to 1/6 of length of head, 2 to 2| diameters 

 from end of snout, 2| diameters, apart. 



Interorbital space broad and rather convex ; snout rounded, with 

 a very slight appearance of pores. Mouth inferior, transverse ; lower 

 lip well developed, rugose, entire, having a free posterior edge, and 

 forming an adhesive sucker. 



Inner side of lower lip covered with cartilage, which is extanded 

 on to its inferior surface, where however, it is not so horny. Barbels 

 of about equal length and nearly as long as the eye. Pre-opercle 

 with an emarginate posterior border. 



Teeth, — pharyngeal, 5, 3, 2/2, 3, 5, crooked, pointed. 



Fins. Dorsal commences opposite the ventrals, and midway or 

 slightly nearer to the snout than it does to the base of the caudal 

 fin, its spine is rather strong, moderately serrated and as long 

 as the head without the snout, the fin is hardly so high as the 

 body below it. Pectoral four-fifths as long as the head, and scarcely 

 extending above halfway to the ventrals, which last reach two- 

 thirds of the distance to the anal. The anal has a narrow base and 

 its length slightly varies, reaching, when laid flat, the whole or only 

 three-fourths of the distance to the base of the caudal, which is lobed 

 in its posterior half. Free portion of tail slightly longer than 

 deep. 



Scales — smallest below the lateral line ; tiled row to vent minute, 

 each scale in it being scarcely one-third the diameter of the orbit. 



Yiscera. The diameter of the posterior portion of the air bladder
