Length of head 5| to 6, of caudal 4^ to 5, height of body 4^ in 

 the total length. Eyes in or rather behind the middle of the 

 length of the head; diameter 4 to 5^ in the length of the head. 

 Dorsal profile more convex than that of the abdomen. The greatest 

 width of the head equals two thirds of its length. Suborbital ring 

 of bones narrow, about one fifth the diameter of the eye. Mouth 

 narrow, its width 3^ in the length of the head. Snout obtuse, 

 projecting over the jaws, and having a very distinct lateral lobe. 

 Lips not fringed, but thick, with a distinct inner fold, which is 

 not continued across the lower jaw. Snout covered with large 

 pores. A cartilaginous covering to inner surface of both lips. 

 Barbels a, short maxillary pair, concealed in the labial fold. Teeth 

 pharyngeal, plough-shaped, 5, 4, 3/3, 4, 5. Fins dorsal com- 

 mences nearer the snout than the base of the caudal ; it is nearly 

 or quite as high as the body, and in the adult its upper edge is 

 concave. The pectoral does not quite reach the ventral, nor the 

 latter the anal. Caudal deeply forked. Scales 5-1- to 6 rows 

 between lateral line and base of ventral fin. Colour of a dull 

 green, becoming lighter on the sides and beneath, sometimes the 

 base of each scale has a dark mark. 



Hub. Himalayan range and generally throughout Sind, the 

 Deccan, and N.W. Provinces, to Bengal, Cachar, and Assam.

Length of head 5-J in the total length. Eyes diameter 3 to 

 4-| in the length of the head, 1| to 1$ diameters from the end of 

 the snout, and 2 to 2^ apart. Dorsal profile a little more convex 

 than that of the abdomen. Snout overhanging the jaws, having a 

 distinct lateral lobe on either side, and studded with pores. Mouth 

 rather narrow, the lips continuous and with a deep groove across 

 the chin ; both lips fimbriated. Barbels a short maxillary pair. 

 Fins dorsal as high as the body, arising rather nearer the snout 

 than the base of the caudal fin, its upper edge concave. Pectoral 

 nearly as long as the head. Ventral inserted beneath the first 

 third of the dorsal. Caudal deeply forked. Scales 5| rows 

 between lateral line and base of ventral fin. Colour brownish 

 along the back, with a black or bluish stripe passing from the eyes 

 to the base of the caudal fin, where it ends in a black blotch. In 

 Burmese examples the black lateral band is wanting, but the blotch
