 is based on the largest of these.

Fig. C. — Curimatd cijprinoide.'^ (Liniux'us). 

 Subgenus CURIMATA Cloquet. 



Postventral region trenchant. Scales small, 51 to 70 in a lateral 

 count, and forming more or less even longitudinal series. 



In view of the uncertainty of identification of Salmo edentulus Bloch, 

 which is more like the example I shall identify as Curimata schom- 

 hurgkii, I have allowed this subgenus to fall with it and related species. 

 Further, its identification with Salmo cyprinoides Linnaeus may be 

 questioned, and if any credit is attached to Bloch's figure the scales are 

 a little large. 

 Curimata oopei sp. nov. Fig. 7. 



Head 3; depth 2J; D. iii, 9; A. iii, 9, i; P. ii, 13; V. ii, 9; scales 50? 

 in lateral line to base of caudal (squamation injured), and about 4? 

 more on latter; about 15 scales between origin of dorsal obliquely 

 down to lateral line; about 9 series of scales between lateral line verti- 

 cally to origin of ventral; about 9 scales in a vertical series between 

 lateral line and origin of anal; about 28 scales before dorsal; width of 

 head 2^ in its length; depth of head 2J; snout 3^; eye 3^; width of 

 mouth 3^; interorbital space 2^; base of dorsal 2; least depth of caudal 

 peduncle 2f ; base of anal 2; ventral (damaged) 1^^.
