igiQ-J B. Prashad : A neiv species of Discognatlms. 165 



Locality. — In a hill-stream at Jaugal-khad, Kangra district, 

 Punjab. Four specimens. 



The present species comes near D. lamta, but the shape of 

 the snout, the body as a whole and the tail fin, the position and 

 insertion of the pectoral fins and the structure of the mental disc 

 are sufficient to mark it off as a distinct species. 



In Dr. Annandale's ke^' {lac. cit.) the species would be dis- 

 tinguished from the typical D. lamta and D. jerdoni by the length 

 of the head being not more than one fourth of the total length.
