Nemachilus saravacensis. 



Depth of body 5\ to 6 times in total length, length of head 

 4^ to 4f times. Eye ^ to f length of snout, a little less than 

 interorbital width, | length of head ; head naked; maxillary 

 and outer rostral barbels extending to middle of operculum. 

 Depth of caudal peduncle § depth of body, equal to the 

 distance between the anal and the caudal tins. Dorsal II 

 8-9 ; originating slightly in advance of the base of the 

 ventrals, and at equal distance from the end of tiie snout and 

 the base of the caudal. Pectorals as long as the heail, longer 

 than the ventrals, which do not reach the vent. Anal II 5, 

 lialfway between dorsal and caudal. Caudal deeply notched. 

 Body entirely covered with imbricate scales, of which there 

 are about 30 between dorsal and ventral fins. Yellowish, 

 with 13 to 15 brown bars across the back, and a series of 

 brown spots or vertical bars on each side ; a black vertical 

 streak below the eye ; dorsal and caudal fins with small 

 brown spots; usually a round black spot at the base of the 

 anterior dorsal rays. 



Total length 55 niillim. 



Senah, Sarawak {Everett). Four specimens. 



Specimens previously received from Marquis Doria iiave 

 been referred (Cat. Fish. vii. p. 350) to A'', fasciatus, which 

 differs, apart from coloration, in the dorsal fin being formed 

 of a greater number of rays and originating above the inner 

 ventral rays. 



Acanthophthalmus horneensis. 



Depth of body 8 to 9 times in total length, length of head 

 6^ to 7 times. Eye very small j suborbital spine very 

 strong ; barbels short. Dorsal 7—8, its distance from the 

 caudal about \ the total length. Anal 6-7, its distance from 

 the caudal ^ to i the total length. Ventrals halfway between 

 the head and the caudal fin. Caudal fin crescentically 

 notched. Scales minute. Body colourless ; three black 

 annular bands on the head — the first on the snout, the second 

 passing through the eyes, the third across the occiput and 

 covering the opercles ; dorsal and caudal fins black at the 

 base. 



Total length 50 millim. 



Baram liiver, Sarawak {Hose). Several specimens. 



This and the two preceding species are of special interest 

 as the first Cobitines described from Borneo. Homaloptera 

 is also represented in Mr. Everett's Sarawak collection by 

 two species previously known from Burma, viz. H. bilineataj 

 Blyth, and H. {UeUjia) modesta^ Vincig.
