 near the base of the caudal. Onthesidesof the tail are a number 

 of black, wavy longitudinal lines.

 To this species I refer three young specimens collected by 

 Major Berdmore in Tenasserim, Burma. Blyth's description of the 

 species is inadequate and I therefore take this opportunity to add 

 a few notes to it.

In Garra notata the under surface of the head and body are 

 greatly flattened and the ventral profile is straight and horizon- 

 tal throughout. The dorsal profile is arched ; it rises from the tip 

 of the snout to the base of the dorsal fin, beyond which it slopes 

 down to the base of the caudal. The head is almost one and 

 a half times as long as broad; its length is contained 4"i times in 

 the length of the fish without the caudal fin and is slightly greater 

 than the depth of the body near the origin of the dorsal fin. The 

 eyes are almost lateral but invisible from below ; their diameter is 

 contained about 3*3 times in the length of the head, i3-i'9 

 times in the length of the snout and 18 times in the intcrorbital 

 width. There are two pairs of thread-like barbels ; the rostrals 

 are longer than the diameter of the eye ; the ma.xillary are very 

 small and liable to be overlooked. The eye is situated almost in 

 the middle of the head or slightly nearer to its posterior margin.
