 long. 



Cyprinus carpio, L. 



The carp in its wild state attains a large size ; Mr. Styan 

 has sent specimens 33 inches long. 



Barhus semibarbus, Gthr. 



As I do not acknowledge the generic division Hemiharhus. 

 proposed by Bleeker, referring these barbels to Barhus, I 

 am obliged to propose another specific name for Heiniharhus 

 maculatics, to distinguish it from Barhus maculatus, C. V. 



Barhus laheo. Pall. 

 Barhus dissimiUs, Blkr., is the same species.

Adult specimens have the lower jaw protected by a sharp 

 horny sheath.
