The eyes are placed so high np that their upper margin projects a little in front of the forehead; their longitudinal diameter is 5' , times in the length of the head; seen from abo\-e, the distance between the e>es is equal to the diameter of the eye. The length of the snout to the eye, is about 3+ ^ times in the length of the head. The lower jaw extends almost as far forward as the upper, whose posterior angle lies under the anterior third of the e\e. The lips are thick. The tubular nostrils are well-developed. Of large, cup-shaped pits there is a no small number: i behind tlie eye, towards the upper side, 5 under and in front of the eye, i Jjehind and i in front of the nostril, S on the preoperculum and mandible, lastly i on the neck .^'..
