Upon the head the papillae become shorter and squarer, until on the tip of the snout and about the lips they become very small, lose their pigment, and become superficially identical with the presumed taste-organs inside the mouth. (See further discussion on p. 193.) The vent opens on a slight prominence exactly three-eighths the standard length from the tip of the snout. Pectoral fins long, narrow, obliquely inserted about one-fifth the body-height.
