Coh:)ur very similar to the preceding. White nuchal cross- 

 band imperfectly 3-partite. The two abdominal and the two

 dusky spöt on the tip of the tail, in front of the uncoloured 

 tail-fin). Anal opening below the usual interspace. Ventral side of 

 head as well as belly and pectorals milk-white. Longitudinal 

 band of scales on the sides of the body a little broader and 

 longer than in the preceding, reaching from the front of the

Colour very similar to the preceding, with the same three 

 droplike white saddle-marks, and with the same hut raore com-

N:o R. 30. Same locality as N:o R. 13. 



Colour as the preceding; behind the 3-partite white nuchal

Very light variety, with the white interspaces almost as broad 

 as the dark and uniting below with the white ventral side. 

 W^hite nuchal crossband imperfectly 4-pavtite. Caudal dark cross-

 abdominal and the three first caudal saddle-marks with their
