portance as already noticed. The species agrees with S. semiplotus 

 in having the last osseous spine smooth and entire, and differs in 

 this respect from S. modestiis, in which the last spine is serrated ; 

 on the other hand it agrees with the latter in having the lateral 

 line concave to the dorsal profile and not almost straight as in 

 S semiplotus. It has on the snout a row of pores like S. semiplo- 

 tus, but the number of pores is four in place of eight in S. semi- 

 plotus. There are differences in proportion and colouration also. 

 Both the previously known species are denizens of hilly tracts,, 

 though examples of 5. semiplotus have been found as far down 

 as Goalpara i-n the valley of the Brahmaputra. Griffith, however, 

 observes that smaller examples of S. semiplotus are usually found 

 near rapids. The adhesive apparatus below the chin, and further 

 posteriorly down to the isthmus, is very interesting and significant 

 of the habits of the new species if not of the genus. 



There is only one specimen, the holotype, collected by Dr. 

 Murray Stuart in February 1918, from a hill stream in the Putao 

 Plains (Hkamti Long of the old maps), Upper Burma. It is entered 

 in the register of the Zoological Survey of India under No. 9747/1. '

There is onl}- one specimen measuring 38 mm. collected in a 

 hill stream near Tanja. The anal fin is rolled on itself and looks 

 like a tuft at the free- end. The colouration is very well preserved.
