INDIAN CYPRINIDZ. 307 
Spec. Botia grandis, Gray, Hardw. Illust. t. 94. f. 3. 
Body olive-brown, with irregular yellow spots and streaks; 
eight cirri ? 
Has. Said to have been found in the mountains of Kuma- 
on; its description I believe is yet a desideratum; and as the 
only spotted species known, it might be named |S. maculata. 
The fins of the remaining species are without bars, spots, or other orna- 
ments; the air vessel is bilobate, and placed over the pharynx, and the body is 
long and cylindric as in the true Loaches. 
Spec. C. balgara, Buch. t. 53. f. 2. B 
Clouded with brown above, below silvery. D.7 : P.7: V.7 : 
C7: 
Has. Northern frontier of Bengal. 
Spec. S. aculeata, J. M.* 
Trenchant bony ridge between the eyes, clouded streaks on 
the sides. D.8: P.9: A.7: C.—? 
Has. Assam. 
Spec: 8, montana, J. M. t. 57. f. 1. J. A.S: vol. vii. t. 55. f. 1. 
Twelve zones encircling the body, with a black bar at the 
insertion of the caudal, and a single suborbitar spine on each 
side. D:.8: P.10: V.8: A.6: C.18. 
Haz. Mountains at Simla. Dr. Macleod’s Coll. 
* This species corresponds in form with the preceding so closely that I have not figured it, and 
as I have not found Buchanan’s species, I suspect they are the same; though he has not noticed the 
peculiarity of the head.
