Villiform teeth in a triangular spot on the vomer, and in a long pyriform shape on the palate ; the whole of these with those on the upper jaw are so closely set together that it may give the appearance on a superficial examination that there are " no teeth on the palate," as remarked by Dr. Gunther. 59.

Nasal cirrus extends from between the two nostrils to opposite the posterior margin of the orbit. Maxillary cirrus arises opposite the centre of the anterior margin of the orbit, and extends to the base of the pectoral fin. The four mandibular cirri arise on a transverse line just behind the lower lip, and extend to slightly behind the vertical from the posterior margin of the orbit. Eyes lateral. Out of sixteen specimens, the largest was 6 inches; it, however, was said to grow to a greater size. Those I obtained were from the Cossye at Midnapore. |
