This species is extremely similar to A. luddus, with •which it 

 agrees, except in having generally fewer scales and anal rays, also 

 a smaller number of vertebrae. It may be regarded as the southern, 

 less developed form of Alb. lucidus.

Albumus fraccMa of Heckel is regarded and described by Prof. 

 Canestrini asAlbunms alborella, var. lateristriga, 1. c. iii. p. 103, and 

 iv. p. 87. It is distinguished by a rather indistinct greyish band 

 along the side. Specimens have been obtained from Ti-eviso, Bologna, 

 and Modena. Prof. Canestrini considers it possible that it is a hybrid 

 between Albumus cdborella and Leucos aula. Leuciscus albidus, Costa, 

 Eaun. Nap. Pesc. p. 16, t. 14, from the River Staffoli, an affluent of 

 the Alento, with A. 14, may prove to be the same form. 



A hybrid between this species and Leuciscus uMiva has b'een men- 

 tioned, p. 235.
