LONG-BEARDED BARBEL. 



I have never seen the fish designated by the native 

 names below, since 1 received M'Clelland's work on the 

 cyprins, but the " peculiar appendages to the lower jaw," 

 distinguishes it from all others, and there is little room 

 for doubting the identity of the species. It is not a very 

 abundant fish.

TAVOY MOUNTAIN BARBEL. 



This fish does not appear to have been described, and 

 might be brought into the genus cyprinus, «r carp, as 

 described by some writers, but according to M'Clelland's 

 arrangement it is a species of mountain barbel. It has 

 two small cirri on the upper jaw, the dorsal fin is long 

 with sixteen rays, and the scales are small ; thirty three 

 on the lateral line. 

 Orrinus. 



TENASSERIM BREAM. 



I call this fish a bream, though it has a bony ray in the 

 dorsal, because in every other generic respect it corres- 

 ponds to the English bream, which it much resembles in 

 form. The Karens call it " the peepul leaf/' from its oval 

 form. The formula of the fin rays is,

 Abramis. 



NARROW-MOUTHED CARP. 



A class of small fish that were referred to the carps by 

 Buchannan, M'Clelland has formed into a new genus, 

 which he calls systomus, from their small mouths, and of 

 which we have several species. One is distinguished for 

 a yellow caudal fin,, edged with black.
