Length of head 1/4, of caudal 2/9, height of body nearly 1/4, of dorsal 
fin 1/6 of tho total length.— Eyes : diameter 1/4 of length of head, 
1 diameter from end of snout, and II apart. In large specimens the snout 
is generally covered with pores. The posterior extremity of the maxilla 
extends to below the anterior third of the orbit. Third suborbital bone as 
wide as the uncovered portion of the cheek below it. Humeral process 
generally very broad, and posteriorly produced in a lancet shaped form, more 
or less elongated in dilferent specimens. Four short barbels. — Teeth : pharyn- 
geal, 5, 4, 2/2, 4, 5. — Fins ; dorsal much higher than its base is long, it 
commences midway between the snout and the centre of the caudal fin, and 
does not extend to over the anal ; caudal forked, lower lobe the longer.— 
Lateral line : 21 rows of scales between it and the base of the ventral fin. — 
Colours : silvery shot with purple ; back of a slaty grey descending in bars 
towards tho lateral line and most distinct in immature specimens. Each scale in 
adults with a black spot at its base, and two on each forming the lateral line.
