INDIAN CYPRINID&. 267 
The following three species have a black spot at the base of the caudal, 
and the dark colour of the back descends in fasciated points on the sides, thus 
indicating a relation with the Sarcoborine ; but until the nature of this relation 
be determined, and their habits and structure known, I place them with the 
Cirrhins. I only know them by Buchanan’s figures and descriptions.* 
Spec. Cyp. morula, Buch. P. G. Pl. xviii, f. 91. 
Length of the head equal to the altitude of the body, and 
to a fourth of the length ; lips pendulous, the hinder fimbriated.

Spec. Cyp. dero, Buch. P. G. t. xxii. f. 78.

rough, lips smooth-edged. D.13: P.18:—? V.9: A.7: C.19.

Cuar. Structure and habits agree with those of the Cirrhins, but cirri are 
wanting, or very minute. 
Oss. The last species would seem to be a Catastomus, and the two first to 
be very nearly allied to each other, and to differ chiefly from C. gonius, Buch. 
* To these may be added for the present Cyp. pausio, Buch. P. G. 317. t. 42. f. 4 3. It seems 
to differ from them merely in being without cirri. 
+ This sign 3, denotes that the figure given is from Buchanan’s collection.
