lateral line to caudal base and 4 more on latter; 8 or 9 scales above 
lateral line to dorsal origin, 7 below to anal origin; 14 or 15 pre- 
dorsal scales; snout, 3 to 34 in head; eye, 4; mouth width, 34 to 33; 
interorbital, 24 to 24; length, 180 to 185 mm. 
This species greatly resembles Cirrhinus mrigala (B. Hamilton), 
of which we have slightly smaller examples from India for com- 
parison. It differs, however, in its fringed lps, much shorter max- 
illary and especially in the prominent apical striae. These char- 
acters are not evident in our specimen of C. mrigala. From ©. reba 
(B. Hamilton), of which we also have Indian examples for com- 
parison, while its upper lip agrees in being fringed its lower lp is 
entire and not papillose. Also it has shorter barbels, a longer max- 
illary and nearly smooth scales, without the apical striae of C. 
melanostigma.

ZACCG TEMMINCKI (Schlegel). 
Head, 31 to 34; depth, 34 to 34; D. 1, 7; A, 111, 9; scales, 46 to 48, 
in lateral line to caudal base and 4 more on latter; 10 scales above 
lateral line to dorsal origin, 4 or 5 below to anal origin; 19 to 24 
predorsal scales; snout, 2% to 3 in head; eye, 54 to 54; maxillary, 
1; interorbital, 2} 27. 
Body strongly compressed, deepest at dorsal origin. Caudal pedun- 
cle compressed ; least depth, 23 to 2? in head. Snout convex; length. 
4 to 1 in its width. Eye small, hind edge about midway in head. 
Mouth large, jaws about even. Maxillary reaches oppositeeye. Inter- 
orbital slightly convex. Guill-rakers, 2+6 short points; about 3 in 
filaments, which nearly equal eye. Pharyngeal teeth, 1, 4, 4—3, 4, 2, 
conic, some slightly hooked, with grinding surfaces, especially on 
larger ones. Scales rather narrowly imbricated along lower sides, 
closely crowded on chest. Each scale with about 7 to 11 rather weak 
apical radiating striae, fine circuli 52 to 63 basally. Spawning male 
with four rows of pearl organs along side of mandible, several rows 
along preopercle flange and lower part of opercle and irregular double 
row on suborbital chain. Enlarged anal rays of male with rows of 
pearl organs, well spaced basally and closer terminally. Lateral line 
greatly decurved, complete, of simple tubes. 
Color in alcoho! brownish generally, little paler below. Leacen- 
dusky streak along vertebral axis after dorsal fin. Ten obscure 
leaden cross bars between occiput and caudal. Iris gray-brown. 
Fins uniform brownish, except dorsal, which has transverse blackish 
band over membranes, but not on rays. Length 104 to 116 mm. 
Three examples from Kagi, Formosa. September 1 to 20, 1907.
