﻿326 GANGETic FISHES. Order V. 



The back fin is far behind the middle, and rounded. It 

 contains eight rays, of which the first is short, and, together 

 with the second, is undivided, while the others are branched. 

 The 'pectoral fins are as long as the head, low, and sharp above; 

 each contains thirteen rays, of which the first is undivided, and 

 the others branched. The ventral fins are near each other, 

 and as long as the pectorals ; each has eight rays, of which the 

 first is by much the longest and undivided, ending in a 

 bristly point, projecting beyond the membrane ; the last also 

 is undivided, and the intermediate ones branched. The anal 

 fin is near the vent, and triangular, and has eight rays, of which 

 the first is short, and. with the second, is undivided, the others 

 being branched. The fin of the tail is large, is divided into 

 two equal lobes, and contains nineteen distinct rays, besides 

 short compacted ones on each side. 



61st Species. — Cyprinus jogia. 



A Cyprinus of the Danio kind, with one dark dotted stripe 

 below the lateral line ; with the form much compressed ; with 

 four tendrils, of which two are very long ; and with the first ray 

 of each ventral fin no longer than the membrane. 



The Jogia (Jongja) I found in the Kosi along with the Rerio, 

 to which it has a considerable resemblance, and by the fisher- 

 men is considered as belonging to the same genus : but, on the 

 whole, its affinity with the Danrica is stronger ; and, besides the 

 circumstances mentioned in the specific character, it diflPers 

 from the description of the Danrica in only the following par- 

 ticulars : •' -i 



The eyes are entirely silver-coloured. The belly is more 

 arched. The pectoral fins are longer than the head, and each 

 contains about ten rays. The rays in each ventral and in the 

 anal fin are seven in number.
