Genus Adiposia nov. 
The genus may be described as follows :— 
A genus of Cobitidae consisting of elongate species often of 
large size, with or without minute scales on the body, 
without a suborbital spine, with six barbels, with an 
elongate band-shaded soft fin between the dorsal and the 
caudal. ‘The head is relatively smal!, flattened and 
Siluroid in appearance; the eye small, dorsal in post-

extends ail along the middle of the body in a straight or 
sinuous line. The pharyngeal bones are delicate and bear 
a single series of sharp slender teeth. The air-bladder, 
which is entirely enclosed in bone, is dumbell-shaped
