374 INDIAN CYPRINID&. Peonomine. 
With it was found the following, which though I have described as a species, 
may only prove to be a variety. 
VI.—GoNORHYNCHUS BRACHYPTERUS, J. M. 
Under surface of the head flat, with a cartilaginous disk behind the 
mouth; two very minute cirri and a few irregular pores on the snout ; there are 
thirty-six scales along the lateral line, and seven rows between the ventrals and 
dorsal on either side. 
D8: P.14: V.9: A.% or 6: C.19.

developed, of an oval form; composed of cartilage slightly elevated in the 
middle, but hollow externally, and surrounded with a loose membranous 
Margin.

and studded with large irregular pores ; behind the mouth there is a smooth 
callous sucker, and at the base of the caudal fin on either side, a black spot. 
The fin rays are,
