Laheo gcdrosi'cus, sp. n. 

 Five specimens, 300-345 mm., from Panjgur. 



D. lU/lO, P. 14, V. 9, A. II/6-7, 11. 42, It. I ll.-v. 7^, 

 dph. 5—4—2—2—4—5. 



Length of head 5^, depth of body not quite 5 in total 

 lengti). Breadth of head --^q of its height, h.eight | of its 

 length. Snout a little over ^ of lengtli of head. Eye at the 

 end of the first half of leiigth of head, diameter 7-8 in head, 

 3 in interorbital space. Lips continuous, the lower only 

 fringed ; median, transverse, and lateral folds to lower lip. 

 'i he lower jaw only with a horny covering and margin ; no 

 lateral lobe to snout, a groove across the latter ; glandular 

 ])ores present. Barbels two, hidden in lateral grooves. 

 Dorsal arisesover end of pectoral, considerably before ventral. 

 Last undivided dorsal ray articulate, slightly longer than 

 head ; margin of dorsal strongly concave, tiie shortest rays 

 being ? of the longest. Pectoral nearly as long as head and 

 reaching f- towards ventral ; the latter measures -y^j of pectoral 

 and reaches f towards anal; anal ^ towards root of caudal. 

 Length of caudal, which is deeply forked^ equal to depth of 

 body. 



Greyish brown, bluish on back, fins pale ; a golden spot on 

 preopercle, anterior margin of dorsal black. 



Allied to L. diplostotnus (Heck.), Avhich occurs at the same 

 locality, but distinguished by its smaller eyes, the median fold 

 to the lower lip, and the covering of the jaws, which here is 

 found on the lower jaw only. Moreover the dorsal arises 

 midway between snout and beginning (not end) of base of anal. 



JS^emachilus hrahui, sp. n. 



D. 9, P. 11, V. 8, A. 7, C. 18. 



Head 5, depth of body 6^ in total length. Depth of head 

 f of its breadth, breadth 19 in its length. Diameter of orbit 

 ^ of length of head, f of interorbital space. Snout as long 

 as postorbital portion of head. Cleft of mouth does not 

 extend to below the anterior nostril. Lips thick, papillose, 

 the lower interrupted. Barbels six, the outer rostral, which 

 is the longest, reaching to posterior nostril. No scales. 

 Dorsal arises midway between anterior margin of orbit and 

 root of caudal, slightly but distinctly before ventral. Pectoral 

 equal to depth of body, extends halfway towards ventral ; the 

 latter passes the anal opening and misses the anal by one
