354. INDIAN CYPRINIDZ. Peonomine. 
described before ; at all events, the latter error is one that may be more easily 
corrected than the former. I have, however, a specimen in my collection which 
corresponds so closely with Buchanan’s description, that I might almost ven- 
ture to look upon it as the same. But in hopes that some member of the 
Society will forward to our Museum a specimen of the Curmuca, which is 
common in the rivers of southern India, I will withhold for the present any 
further notice of this species than may be found in the synopsis.

Had Buchanan not stated that the cirri of this species are appended from 
the end of the snout, instead of the corners of the mouth, I should have been

two feet in length: as I have not seen it, I must refer the reader to Buchanan’s 
description.

of the existence of Buchanan’s unpublished drawings ; but I have since lost the 
specimen I had collected on the occasion, and must now trust to my original 
notes for a description of it. The length of the head to that of the body is as 
one to four ; operculum rounded behind; mouth small, directed obliquely up- 
wards; snout prominent and fleshy, with two small cirri at the corners of the 
mouth ; suborbitar plates broader below than behind the eyes; pectorals small, 
with their bases slightly covered by the branchial plates. The fin rays are,
