1921.] vS. L. HoRA : Fishes of Ike genus (}arra. 663 



are shorter than the head and are separated from the ventrals by 

 a distance equal to the base of the dorsal tin. Both the paired 

 fins are horizontally placed and are provided with muscles on the 

 ventral aspect of some of the outer ra\'s. The anal fin is consider- 

 ably removed from the anal opening and its longest ray is twice 

 as high as the shortest. The caudal fin is evenly lobed and deeply 

 emarginate. 



The air-blader is reduced ; it is not greatly modified in form. 

 The following are its measurements in a mature female specimen 

 65 mm. in length without the caudal fin : — 



Length of anterior chamber ... ... 35 nini. 



,, ,, posterior ,, ... ... 5"o ,, 



flreale.st diameter ot anterior chamber ... ... 2"8 ,, 



.. posterior ,, ... ... i'5 ., 



The fish has a characteristic colouration. The upper surface 

 of the head and body are dusky, while the ventral surface and the 

 fins are dirty white. There is a light black bar across the dorsal 

 and a W-shaped black marking on the caudal fin. 



Locality. — Three specimens were sent to the Indian Museum by 

 Mr. Pettigrew from Manipur, Assam ; Dr. N. Annandale informs 

 me that Pettigrew made his collection in the neighbourhood of 

 Ukhral, which is situated at an altitude of 6000 ft. among the 

 Xaga Hills.

Annandale (191,3, p. 37; recognised this species to be an un- 

 described form, but he then considered it a race of l/intta and did 

 not attempt to describe it. He pointed out, however, that the 

 ^lanipur race ' ' has the whole of the ventral surface devoid of 

 scales and exhibits marked peculiarities in colouration."
