428 INDIAN CYPRINIDZ. Apalopterine. 
The stomach and intestine form a continuous fleshy tube not much longer 
than the body. The specimen from which this description was taken was 
brought from the Boutan mountains by Mr. Griffith, but was too much de- 
cayed to admit of a fuller description.

This species was found in the Kasyah mountains by Mr. Griffith, to 
whom we are indebted for so many similar accessions. The snout is abruptly 
depressed between the eyes, with a large pit between the nostrils; body 
strong and sub-cylindric; about thirty-four scales along the lateral line, and 
eight in an oblique row from the base of the ventrals to the dorsum. The 
fin rays are,

Of this species I know no more than is conveyed in the apparently excel- 
lent figure given in Hardwicke’s plates; it seems to differ from the first in 
having still broader pectorals and ventrals, and in all the fins being crossed 
by obscure bars, which might have suggested a more appropriate name than 
that bestowed on it by Mr. Gray.

Muzzle elongated and flattened, eyes placed far back, opercula small. 
mouth small and suctorial, without cirri, fins as in the Gonorhynchi, but more 
elevated. 
I am indebted for this genus to two drawings in Buchanan’s collection, 
named by the author Stolephorus sukati, and S. batitora.
