268 INDIAN CYPRINID#. 
in being without cirri. They correspond with the species named by Buch- 
anan, Cyp. curchius, C. cursa, and C. cursis, but I cannot altogether reconcile 
them with his descriptions; they appear to me to be varieties resulting from 
domestication. 
Spec. Cyp. curchius, Buch. t. 40. f. 3. 
Seales minute and disposed so as to indicate longitudinal 
stripes, lips fleshy and fimbriated, seventy-eight scales along 
the lateral line, and thirty from the base of the ventrals to the 
dorsum. D7 -1657V09 ean C.F 
Has. Bengal and Assam. 
Spec. Cyp. cursis,* Buch. t. 38. f. 3. 
Snout thick and projecting, eighty-three scales on the la- 
teral line, and about twenty-seven across the body from the base 
of the ventrals to the dorsum. D.16:P.17:V.9:A.7: C4 
Has. Assam and Bengal. 
Variet. Cyp. cursa, Buch. t. 38. f. 2. 6 
Seales and fin rays the same as in C. curchius, but the 
back is more abruptly arched, and the abdominal margin is 
straight to the anal. 
Spec. C. dyocheilus,t J. M. t. 37. f. 1. 
Goreah of the Assamese. 
Head long, opercular plates covered with thick integu- 
ments, snout muscular, forty-four scales along the lateral line, 
* This variety had been figured from a dried specimen and transferred to stone, before I 
found in Buchanan’s collection a most excellent drawing of it. 
+ So called from the pendulous structure of the snout descending so as to form the appearance of 
a second lip.
