Length of head 4i to 4i, height of body 4^ in the total length excluding the caudal fin. Eijes — 

 diameter 3 in length of head, .3/4 to 1 diameter from end of snout, and rather more apart. The posterior 

 extremity of the maxilla extend.s to a little behind the front edge of the orbit ; lower jaw slightly projects 

 when the mouth is closed. The third suborbital bone nearly reaches the preopercular ridge. Axillary process 

 short. Barbels — Two short pairs. Fins. — the dorsal higher than long, commencing midway between the eye 

 and the root of the caudal fin, its last ray not extending so far as to above the anal. Pectoral does not 

 reach the venti-al nor the latter the anal. Caudal apparently deeply forked. Lateral-line— 2 rows of scales 

 between it and the base of the ventral fin : 24 rows before the base of the dorsal fin. The specimens in the 

 British Museum are in a very bad state, their tails having been almost destroyed. 



Habitat.— Central India.

Length of head 5 to 5^, of caudal 5|-, height of body 5 in the total length. Eyes— dia,meter 3l to 4 in 

 the length of head, 1 diameter from end of snout, and also apart. Snout compressed, jaws of about equal 

 length in front. The maxilla reaches to below the anterior margin of the orbit : third suborbital bone 2/3 as 

 wide as the uncovered portion of the cheek below it. Barbels — the maxill ary pair as long as the eye, the rostral 

 slightly longer. Axillary process extends to rather behind the origin of the pectoral fin. Tec)!7t— pharyngeal, 

 5, 3/3, 5, crooked. Fins— dorsal commences midway between the anterior margin of the orbit and the base of 

 the caudal fin, its last ray is over the first of the anal. The six outer pectoral rays strong, more especially in 

 the adult. Caudal deeply forked. Gill ral-ere— rudimentary. Lateral-line — goes to the centre of the base of 

 the caudal fin, about 7 rows of scales between it and the base of the ventral fin : 25 before the dorsal fin. 

 Colours — back olive, rest of the body pinkish silvery : about twelve incomplete bars go from the back down- 

 wards towards the lateral line, a dark bar along the upper third of the dorsal fin. The lower two-thirds of 

 the vertical fins stained in some examples. 



Habitat. — From Hurdwar down the valley of the Ganges, the N.W. Provinces and Assam. The species 

 is said to attain 5 inches in lencfth.

Length of head 4f to 5J-, of caudal 5 to 5^, height of body 4J- (to 5i in the young) in the total length. 

 JEi/es— diameter 4i to 4| in length of head, li diameters fi-om end of snout, and 1^ apart. The maxilla reaches 

 to below the first third of the orbit. The third suborbital bone varies in depth from being equal, to twice as high 

 as the uncovered portion of the cheek below it. Open pores on the snout and lower jaw in the adult or even in 

 the young in examples from hilly districts, sometimes pores on preorbital. Axillary process broad, lancet- 

 shaped and longer in some examples than in others. Barbels — four, generally short, the rostral pair occasionally
