Fishes from Tanganyika Territory. 687 
rounded. Caudal peduncle much deeper than long. 62-65 
scales in a longitudinal series, 11-12 from origin of dorsal to 
lateral line. About twelve more or less distinct but broken 
vertical bars on sides of body, ending below lateral line; a 
black spot on caudal peduncle; caudal fin with a somewhat 
broad pale margin; dorsal with numerous black dots. 
Three specimens, 90 to 170 mm. in total length. 
This species is near J). antonid, differing chiefly in the 
characters of the fins. 
Barilius loveridgit, sp. n. 
Depth of body 44 in length, length of head 44. Head more 
than twice as long as broad. Snout pointed, longer than eye, 
which is 4 in Jength of head and slightly less than inter- 
orbital width. Jaws equal anteriorly ; maxillary reaching 
posterior third of eye. No barbels. Giull-rakers rudimentary. 
Dorsal II 8; origin equidistant from centre of eye and root 
of caudal ; last four rays above anal ; anterior rays longest, 
3 length of head. Anal III 12; anterior rays much longer 
than posterior, but not longer than dorsal rays. Pectoral ? 
length of head, slightly falcate, just reaching pelvics. Pelvics 
reaching anal, Caudal forked, Caudal peduncle longer than 
deep. Scales with numerous radiating strize, 40 in a longi- 
tudinal series, 74 between origin of dorsal and lateral line. 
Brownish ; 8 or 9 short, dark vertical bars on sides of body 
above lateral line ; margin of dorsal and caudal darker. 
A single specimen, 98 mm. in total length, 
Near B. ubangensis and B. peringueyi. 
Synodontis maculipinna, sp. n. 
Depth of body 34 to 4} in length, length of head 3? to 4. 
Head slightly longer than broad, more or less rugose above, 
except snout, which is rounded or obtusely pointed, and equal 
to or longer than postocular part of head. Kye supero-lateral, 
5 to 64 in length of head, 2 to 24 in interorbital width. Lips 
moderately developed. Premaxillary teeth in a broad band, 
nearly extending across whole width of mouth; 380-40 
movable mandibular teeth, almost in a single series, the length 
of which is from ? to 4 diameter of eye ; height of teeth less 
than 4 diameter of eye. Maxillary barbel unbranched, with- 
out or with a very narrow marginal membrane at base, equal 
to or slightly longer than length of head ; outer mandibular 
barbel with long slender branches, nearly twice as long as 
inner, which has stouter and shorter branches. Gill-opening
