tween the lateral line and the root of the ventral fin. Body strongly 

 compressed, elevated, with the profile of the back arched, not concave 

 above the occiput ; its depth is two-fifths of the total length (with- 

 out caudal) ; head rather small, its length being two-niuths of the 

 total (without caudal) ; snout short, obtuse, shorter than the diameter 

 of the eye, which is rather more than one-fourth of the length of the 

 head ; barbels very small, especially the upper, much shorter than 

 the eye. The origin of the dorsal fin is immediately behind the root 

 of the ventrals, and nearer to the root of the caudal than to the end 

 of the snout. Coloration uniform.

 The osseous dorsal ray is strong, its stiff" portion being longer than 

 the head (without snout) ; its serrature is very conspicuous and rather 

 coarse, the denticidations being numerous and closely set. There 

 are three longitudinal series of scales between the lateral line and 

 the root of the ventral fin. Body strongly compressed, somewhat 

 elevated, as in Leuciscus rutilus, with the profile of the back straight ; 

 its depth is contained twice and two-thirds in the total length (with- 

 out caudal) ; head rather small, its length being two-ninths of the 

 total (without caudal) ; snout short, as long as the diameter of the 

 eye, which is two-sevenths of the length of the head ; barbels rather 

 small, about as long as the eye. The origin of the dorsal fin is a 

 little behind the vertical from that of the ventrals, and midway be- 

 tween the end of the snout and the root of the caudal. Coloration 

 uniform.

 The osseous dorsal ray is very strong, as long as the head, and 

 finely serrated behind. There are two series of scales between the 

 lateral line and the root of the ventral fin. Body strongly com- 

 pressed, somewhat elevated, as in Leuciscus bipunctatus, with the 

 profile of the back slightly arched ; its depth is one-third of the 

 total length (without caudal) ; head of moderate size, its length
