margin of the adhesive apparatus and the outer the gill membrane. 

 Fins} — The adipose fin is well developed; both the dorsal and the 

 pectoral fins have loose folds of skin at their bases, the spine of 

 the former is smooth while that of the latter is smooth externally 

 and has six denticulations internally. The lower lobe of the 

 caudal fin is slightly the longer. 



The adhesive apparatus is U-shaped and is fairly well de- 

 veloped. 



Colour. — The dorsal surface is dark, while the belly and the 

 undersurface of the head are white ; there are conspicuous black

bands at the bases of all the median fins; the caudal is grey and the 

 paired fins are colourless. A V-shaped whitish area is also present 

 at the base of the dorsal fin. 



Four specimens were obtained from the Imphal stream near 

 Karong. Manipuris do not make any distinction between this 

 species and the preceding one.

 the number of branched rays both in the dorsal and the anal fins. In the descrip- 

 tions of the new species I have omitted the number of hn-rays in the caudal tin, 

 because it is very difficult to count the smaller r.-iys on either side after the longest 

 ray. 1 have included, however, the length of the caudal fin in the total length.
