In Garra jenhinsonianum the dorsal profile is greatly arched ; 

 it rises from the tip of the snout to the base of the dorsal fin, 

 beyond which it slopes gradually to the base of the caudal. 

 The ventral profile is straight and horizontal throughout. The 

 head is somewhat flattened on the under surface and is short and 

 bluntly pointed ; its length is contained 43 times in the length of 

 the fish without the caudal and it is i"2 times as long as broad. 

 The body is slightly flattened ; its depth near the origin of the 

 dorsal fin is almost equal to the length of the head. The e3'es are 

 situated almost in the middle of the head and are lateral in posi- 

 tion ; they are slightly visible from above and almost invisible 

 from below. The diameter of the eye is contained 4^3 times in 

 the length of the head, i'8 times in the length of the snout and 

 2"i times in the interorbital width. The mouth is small and slight- 

 ly arched ; it is not situated far behind the tip of the snout. The 

 mental disc is small but its various parts are well-marked. There 

 are two pairs of short barbels ; their length is shorter than the 

 diameter of the eye. The snout is smooth and rounded, but near 

 the tip it is marked off into a small lobe by two short transverse 

 grooves. The origin of the dorsal is nearer the tip of the snout 

 than the base of the caudal fin ; it is considerably in advance of 

 the ventral ; its longest ray is shorter than the depth of the hoAy 

 below it and its free margin is almost straight. The pectorals are
