24. Ar.'iis gagora. 



I have included two specimens in this species, one of them being 

 referred to in the Babu's notes as N'ga moot, the other as Nga sook. 

 They do not entirely resemble one another in their proportions, nor 

 is either quite tj^pical of A. gagora They both have a patch of 

 globular palatine teeth on cither side, so far back that they lie 

 under the eye. The " Nga sook " is 10 inches long, the length 

 of its eye is contained 7 times in the length of the head, 2| times in 

 the snout, and 3|- times in the interocular distance. 



The " Nga moot '. is 18 inches long, the eye diameter is con- 

 tained 8 times in the head, 3 times in the snout, 4 times in the 

 interocular distance. The head is somewhat flatter than that of 

 the other specimen. 



In both specimens the maxillar}^ barbel is a little shorter than 

 the head. They are both reported to be common in river and sea.
