The snout is moderately broad, the width of the interorbital space being con- tained twice and a half to t\vice and four-fifths in the length of the head. Eye with a broad adipose membrane. The nostrils are at some distance from each other, the posterior being in the middle between the anterior and the orbit. Lips thin ; the pra5- orbital covers entirely the maxillary. The cleft of the mouth is not twice as broad as it is deep. The space at the chin, between the mandibu- laries, is broadly lanceolate; the angle made by the anterior margins of the mandibles Ls a right one.
