 example of the former from the Malay Archipelago. It may be distinguished by the anterior portion of the 

 adipose lid of the eye passing downwards, and becoming attached to the upper edge of the preorbital and to that 

 of the succeeding bone of the suborbital ring.

Length of head 6 J, of caudal fin 6^, height of body 6 in the total length. i?^es— diameter 4 in the 

 length of the head, rather above 1 diameter from the end of snout, and 1| apart. Body subcylindrical : upper 

 surface of the head flat, its greatest width equalling its length. Cleft of the mouth extending to below the first 

 third of the eye. Lower jaw placed horizontally. Lips thick, the edge of the upper coarsely fringed. Snout 

 not overhanging the mouth. No barbels. Teeth — in the upper jaw in a single row, small, closely set and 

 implanted in the gums. The outer row in the lower jaw, horizontal, posterior to them and opposite the 

 symphysis are two strong, recurved, canines. i^i'res— dorsal spines filiform, and projecting beyond the 

 membrane : caudal rounded. Scales — strongly ctenoid, of irregular sizes and shapes, and in irregular rows : 

 they extend forwards to nearly as far as the eyes : none on the sides of the head. Golours — brownish, with 

 eight or nine rings of a darker tint encircHug the body, and wider than the ground colour. Fins — dark, most 

 deeply so at their edges. 



Habitat. — South Canara, where I procured two examples in fresh water, the largest being 3 inches.
