The height of the body is contained from four times and three- quarters to five times and two-fifths in the total length (without caudal), the length of the head four times and a quarter or thrice and a half. Head much broader than high; snout obtuse in young specimens; the adult fish with the upper jaw pointed and projecting much beyond the lower. The teeth on the palate are viUiform, and form a pair of more or less separate subtriangular patches, each of which is composed of three portions. The maxiUary barbels extend to the opercles or to the pectoral. Crown of the head granulated; occipital process triangular, rather longer than broad, elevated in its middle into a longitudinal ridge; the basal bone of the dorsal spine is small, crescent-shaped. Dorsal spine of moderate strength, granulated in front, slightly serrated behind; its length equals that of the head without snout. The soft dorsal fin is as high as the body. Adipose fin very short. Pec- toral spine stronger and but little shorter than that of the dorsal fin. Eed Sea; East Indies. fl. Thirty-two inches long: stuifed. East Indies.
