Cleft of the mouth wide, the maxillary being long, lanceolate, extending behind the orbit in the adult fish; adult males with both jaws hooked and armed with very large teeth. Teeth on the shaft of the vomer, but generally lost with age; teeth on the tongue present; none on the hyoid bono. Dorsal fin short; anal fin rather long, with more than fourteen rays. Pyloric appendages in great number. Ova large. Migratory fish, ascending the American and Asiatic rivers flowing into the Pacific. Although we adopt the genus proposed by Dr. G. Sucldey, we found it upon a character entirely neglected by that author, namely the elongate anal fin, caused by an increased number of the rays, which is of greater importance than the hook-like production of the upper and lower jaws in the males. 1.
