the front margin of the eyes, maxillary pair minute. Axillary 

 process short. Fins dorsal commencing midway between the 

 middle of the caudal lobes and the snout ; it is entirely, or all but 

 the last ray, in advance of the anal. Pectoral nearly as long as 

 the head, but not reaching the ventrals, which last extend halfway 

 to the base of the anal. Lateral line very slightly concave, two 

 and a half rows of scales between it and the base of the ventral 

 fin ; 19 rows before the base of the dorsal fin. Colour back 

 brownish, strongly defined from the silvery sides ; caudal edged 

 with dark ; the other fins yellow ; a dark band along the dorsal. 



Hab. The Indus in Sind, and the Eavi river at Lahore ; attaining 

 4 or 5 inches in length.

Length of head'4^ to 4|, height of body 4| in the total length, 

 excluding the caudal fin. Eyes diameter 3 in length of head, 

 | to 1 diameter from end of snout, and rather more apart. The 

 posterior extremity of the maxilla extends to a little behind the 

 front edge of the orbit ; the lower jaw projects slightly when the 

 mouth is closed. The third suborbital bone nearly reaches the 

 preopercular ridge. Axillary process short. Barbels two short 

 pairs. Fins the dorsal higher than long, commencing midway 

 between the eye and the root of the caudal fin, its last ray not 

 extending so far as to above the anal. The pectoral does not reach 

 the ventral nor the latter the anal. Caudal apparently deeply 

 forked. Scales two rows between lateral line and base of ventral 

 fin ; 24 rows before base of dorsal. The specimens in the British 

 Museum are in a very bad state. 

 Hab. Central India.

 Third suborbital bone two thirds as wide as the uncovered portion 

 of the cheek below it. Barbels the maxillary pair as long as the 

 eye, the rostral slightly longer. Axillary process extends to rather
