XX. — On a Collection of Fishes made by Mr. John Graham 

 at Yunnan Fu. By (J. Tate E.EGAN, B.A. 



The British Museum lias received from Mr. John Graham a 

 small collection of fishes from the large lake " Sea of Tien," 

 on the north shore of which the city of Yunnan Fu is situated. 

 This lake is at an altitude of about 6000 feet above the sea- 

 level, and its overflow" runs northwards by the Pulu-shing to 

 the Yang-tse-kiang. Of thirteen species represented, eight 

 are described below as new to science. The complete list is 

 as follows : — 



1. Cyprinus carpio, L. 



The two specimens received both lack the anterior barbel *, 

 and should perhaps be referred to a distinct subspecies on this 

 account. Six examples in the British Museum Collection, 

 irom the Southern Shan States, with lan>-e scales, 26-29 ^-5, 



may also be regarded as belonging to a geographical race or 

 subspecies. 



2. Barbus Grahami, sp. n. 



Depth of body 3^ times in the total length, length of head 

 3f times. Snout nearly twice as long as the eye, the diameter 

 of which is 5f times in the length of head and 1£ times in 

 the interorbital width. Mouth subterminal, maxillary not 

 extending to below the eye. Two barbels on each side, the 

 anterior f, the posterior nearly \ the length of head. 



* Some of the specimens figured in Reeve's drawings of Chinese fishes 

 have apparently no anterior barbel.
