Length of head 1/5, of pectoral 1/7, of caudal 1/5, height of body 

 2/13 of the total length. Eyes, diameter 1/5 of length of head, two diame- 

 ters from end of snout, 1-| diameters apart. Body with compressed sides. 

 The free portion of the base of the caudal as long as high. Snout pointed ; 

 no enlargement of pre-orbital. Barbels, all about as long as the eye. 

 Wins ; dorsal arises midway between snout and base of caudal, its upper mar- 

 gin is straight ; pectorals extend above half way to the base of ventrals ; 

 caudal emarginate in its posterior length. Scales, small, but distinct ; there 

 being twelve rows above the lateral line, and thirteen between it and the base 

 of the ventral fin. Lateral line, commences by two roots, which soon coal- 

 esce, when it is continued to the base of the caudal. Colours, yellowish, with 

 a green tinge ; about fifteen brown bands, one-third as wide as the ground 

 colour, pass across the back and descend on either side below the lateral 

 line ; a few near the head, and some in the posterior third of the body are
