tip of snout and base of caudal in Fowler's figure, and well in advance 

 of the origin of the ventral fin in rivuUcola while opposite the origin 

 of the ventral fin in Fowler's figure), the length of the pectoral fin (as 

 long as head as against shorter than head), the shape of caudal fin 

 (deeply incised as against slightly emarginate), the shape of caudal 

 peduncle (longer than deep as against as long as deep) , the lateral line 

 (absent or rudimentary posterior to midbase of anal fin as against 

 complete throughout), and various other features. Dr. Hora, in a 

 letter, confirms the view herein expressed that Noemacheilus rivuUcola 

 of Fowler is not the Hvulicola of Hora from the Southern Shan States 

 of Burma. 



It is a pleasure to name this fish after Dr. Leonard P. Schultz, 

 curator of fishes in the U. S. National Museum.
