Cyprinus pntitora, Ham. Buch. Fish. Gang. pp. 303 & 388, from 

 Eastern Bengal, has not been sufficiently distinguished from this 

 species. Also M'Clelland describes a fish from China under this 

 name, Calcutt. Journ. Nat. Hist. iv. p. 399, tab. 23. fig. 4. 



Hamilton describes C. tor as having a "sharpish head," which 

 character is not found in B. he.vastichus (with which M'Clelland 

 attempted to identify this fish), but in B. progeneius. 



Also in this species the presence of a lower labial lobe is not con- 

 stant : it is not developed in young individuals ; and as regards old 

 ones, it is longer in some than in others. 



101. Barhns macrocephalus. 



Burapetea (Assam). 



Barbus macrocephalus, M^Chll. Ind. Cypr. p. 335, tab. 55. fig. 2 

 (bad). 

 This is at present a very doubtful species, evidently closely allied 

 to B. mos((l, but said to be distinguished by a very large head, the 

 length of which is tAvo-fifths only of the total (without caudal) . L.

Evidently closely allied to B. mosal.

The osseous dorsal ray is of moderate strength and smooth. There 

 are two longitudinal scries of scales between the lateral line and the 

 root of the ventral fin. The height of the body is somewhat more' 

 than one-foiirth of the total length (without caudal), the length of 

 the head two-sevenths; snout of moderate length; lij^s fleshy, the
