7. ScMzothorax nasus. 

 The Dongu. 



Scliizothorax nasus, Heckel, Fische aus Kaschmir, p. 33, tab. 6. 

 This species appears to be very closely allied to Sch. intermedius, 

 from which it is, perhaps, specifically distinct in having a shorter 

 anal fin. 



D. 11. A. 8. 

 Scales minute. Mouth inferior, crescent-shaped, nearly hori- 

 zontal, much broader than long ; upper jaw somewhat pointed, 

 much projecting beyond the lower; margin of the lower jaw sharp- 

 ish ; lower labial fold interrupted in the middle ; barbels shorter 

 than the eye. Origin of the dorsal fin midway between the root of 

 the caudal and the end of the snout, opposite to that of the ventral. 

 The osseous dorsal ray of moderate strength, armed with not very 

 closely set teeth. Anal fin rather narrow and high, but shorter 

 than the other fins, and not extending to the caudal when laid 

 backwards. The height of the body is a little more than the length 

 of the head, which is two-ninths of the total (without caudal). The 

 length of the snout is much more than the diameter of the eye, 

 which is one-sixth of the length of the head (in specimens 10-11 

 inches loflg). Anal scales moderately developed, the largest being 

 half as broad as the orbit. {Heel:)

The Dapeghat.

D. 11. A. 8. 

 Scales minute. Mouth inferior, crescent-shaped, slightly obliquely 

 ascending forwards, much broader than long, the upper jaw but 

 little projecting beyond the lower; margin of the lower jaw 

 sharpish ; lower labial fold interrupted in the middle ; barbels 

 shorter than the eye, the anterior very short. Origin of the dorsal 

 fin a little nearer to the root of the caudal than to the end of 

 the snout, nearly opposite to the base of the ventral. The osseous 

 dorsal ray is of moderate strength, armed with closely set teeth 

 behind. Anal fin narrow, high, extending to the root of the caudal 

 when laid backwards. The height of the body is equal to the 

 length of the head, which is two-ninths of the total (without 

 caudal). The length of the snout is not much more than the dia- 

 meter of the eye, which is more than one-fifth of the length of the 

 head (in specimens 9-10 inches long). Anal scales not much deve- 

 loped, the largest being less than half as broad as the orbit. (Heck.)
