The osseous dorsal ray is feeble and finely serrated. Mouth M'ide, 

 extending backwards slightly beyond the vertical from th<! front 

 margin of the orbit. Snout somewhat pointed, with the jaws ei^ual 

 in length. The height of the body is a little less than the length of 

 the head, which is two-sevenths of the total (without caudal). A

Bleeker quotes Kuhl and Van Hasselt (Algem. Konst- en Letter- 

 bode, 1823, ii. p. 132) to establish the priority for the denomination 

 "Hampala wacroJepidota;" but, although the notice of the yenus 

 Hampcda, superficial as it is, would coincide with, and might super- 

 sede, Capoeta of Valenciennes, no character whatever is assigned to 

 the species, and therefore the description given by Valenciennes is 

 to be regarded as the original, from which the synonymy starts. 

 However, Heckel had named a species of Barbel macrolepis several 

 years before. Bleeker's genus Hampald is based on the sliglitly 

 greater extent of che cleft of the mouth, which, however, is scarcely 

 greater than in B. soro &c.
