The height of the body is contained nearly six times in the total length (without caudal), the length of the head thi-ee times and three- fourths. Head much depressed, much broader than high, its greatest width being equal to its length without snout. The teeth on the palate are in two pairs of patches, which are confluent, or separated by very narrow interspaces; the vomerine pair is only half as large as that of the palatine bones. Six barbels ; those of the maxillaries extend to the end, the outer ones of the man- dible to the middle of the pectoral fin. Nearly the whole of the upper surface of the head and of the neck is granulated, the granules being arranged in radiating or concentric lines. Occipital plate lai'ge. as broad as long, subsemicircular; the basal bone of the dor- sal spine is well developed, butterfly-shaped. Dorsal spine strong, granulated along its anterior surface, scarcely serrated behind, its length being contained once and two-thirds in that of the head :.
