RED-EYED GUDGEON. 



A species of the same size as the preceding with red 

 *?yes, the back lead colour with the scales on the sides 

 red in the centre, is found occasionally in theSalwen. It 

 appears to correspond nearest to Buchannan's Cyprinus 

 pangusia, but differs in some respects, and the back is much 

 more arched than that species in M'Clelland's figure. It 

 is destitute of cirri, the lips are fleshy, and the intestines 

 very long. There are forty one scales on the lateral 

 line, and twelve on an oblique line from the ventrals to the 

 base of the dorsal. The first rays of the dorsal and anal 

 iins in both these species are neither flexible nor spinous, 

 but bony. In classing them with the gudgeons, I have 

 treated them as flexible, but should another observer con- 

 sider them spinous, he will necessarily remove them to 

 another genus. The fin rays of the two species do not. 

 differ from each other, more than individuals of each ap- 

 pear to differ among themselves ; so that the fin rays will 

 not serve to mark any specific difference.

A fish of Buchannan's genus chela, and M'Clelland's

 anal fin long, is not rare.
