The colour above is bluish grey, diminishing in intensity on the sides; the 
scales are long, and soft, presenting on the upper parts of the body pentagonal 
exposed faces. 
The length of the intestinal canal is equal to eleven lengths of the body, 
including the head and caudal fin, and the whole canal is a simple continua- 
tion of the stomach, which differs from the rest of the tube merely in being 
wider at the anterior extremity. The liver consists of small detached glands 
dispersed throughout the folds of the intestines, as already described. The 
only specimens I have seen of this interesting species were found by Mr. 
Griffith at Suddyah, in Upper Assam. It seems to be confined to the higher 
parts of the valley where the large rivers fall in rapid currents from the skirts of 
the mountains, and the water is clear, and the bottom rocky. In such situa- 
tions I learn from Mr. Griffith that it associates with Gonorhynchs, Godio 
anisurus, and Cyprinus semiplotus.

This is one of the commonest species in all parts of Bengal, particularly 
delighting in swamps and ponds, but also common in large rivers where the 
water is fresh and the currents slow. After my figure had been lithographed, 
T found a better one in Buchanan’s collection named Cyprinus bangon, which I 
suppose to represent a larger individual of the same species, but this has yet 
to be ascertained, since we find that figures without dissections shewing the 
structure of parts, are not to be relied upon in this group. 
The general proportions, particularly in regard to depth vary alittle. The 
head is equal to about one-fourth part of the length of the body, exclusive of
