ably uniform and low, the eleventh soft ray is the longest, giving 

 a pointed appearance to the fin ; the caudal fin is moderately 

 forked ; the second anal spine is thicker but rather shorter than 

 the third, the fifth ray is the longest ; the pectoral fins are 

 situated in front of the ventrals, and are long and pointed. The 

 colour of the living fish is, according to Mr. Goldie — "Back 

 brown-pink, belly vermilion, orbit reddish-gold, fins pink edged 

 with brown, tail reddish-brown edged with yellow." The axils 

 and middle rays of pectorals brown. 



Two specimens II inches long. Native name '' Tadiva."

Mr. Goldie's only note is — " Bronze all over, darkre on back," 

 a very poor description. This is a large bulky fish, and seemingly 

 abundant, as I have several specimens. One of them is numbered 

 and labelled as coming from a fresh-water stream near Cuppa- 

 Cuppa, with the native name of "Jem era" and described as — 

 " Bronze-grey on back, fins and tail, reddish on belly."
