Fam. 2. Amphipnoidae.âPost-temporal absent, the shoulder- girdle free from the skull. The Cuchia, AmpMpnous cuchia, the sole representative of this family, an inhabitant of the fresh and brackish waters of India and Burma, growing to two feet in length, is remarkable for the presence of a respiratory air-sac on each side of the neck behind the head, communicating with the gill-cavity. Of the three branchial arches the second alone possesses gill-filaments: the third supports, in their place, a thick and semi-transparent tissue; the principal organs of respiration are two small bladders, resembling the posterior portions of the lungs of snakes, which the animal has the power.
