412 INDIAN CYPRINID. Sarcoborine. 
The stomach is large and muscular, about one-third of the length of the body, 
with its pyloric reflected and terminating in one large intestine a little longer 
than the body, or about twice the length of the stomach. 
Cuvier has indicated a place for this species among the Barbels, but as 
we have no instance of Barbels having longer anal than dorsal fins, I have no 
hesitation in placing it with the Leuciscs, notwithstanding its cirri. In this 
I am guided equally by its peculiarly bright colours, its short alimentary 
canal, and comparatively large anal. Its markings however denote an approxi- 
mation to the Opsarions. I may further remark, that Cyprinus culbasu, Buch. 
Cyprinus rohita, id., Cyprinus gonius, id., and Cyprinus daniconius, id., are 
also indicated in the Regne Animal as Barbels. The two first are Cirrhins, 
the third a Labeo, and the last a Leucise.

The tongue is variously developed in the Leuciscus, according as the 
habits of the species approach to those of the Perilamps, in which it is 
usually large and rugose ; or to those of the Opsarions, in which it is almost 
absent; or to those of Peonomine, in which it is usually cartilaginous. In 
this species, however, which is a native of mountain streams at Simla, where 
it was found by Dr. Macleod, the tongue is almost quite absent. 
It was first described in the seventh volume of the Journal of this Society, 
from a single specimen, as a Perilamp ; but its form though stout and short, 
is that of a Leucise. The head and fore part of the body deep; brachial plates 
slightly exposed behind the opercula; snout round, and terminates abruptly 
in front of the eyes ; forty-six scales are ranged along the lateral line, and 
eleven in an oblique row from the base of the ventrals to the dorsum ;
