D. 3.78; A. 3.5; P. 6.10. i; V. 2.6.1; L. 1.6365 (per- 

 forated scales) ; Sq. 1. 70 or more. 



Height 5.8 [5.46.6] ') 7.18 in total length. Head 4.4 4.6, 

 5.5 to more than 6 in total length, its breadth I 2 / S in its 

 length. Eye 6.3 7.5 [4.6 6.8], more than 3 to 4 times in 

 snout, behind middle of head and more than twice in the 

 interorbital space. Upper lip swollen as also exterior halves of 

 lower lip, which are rather distinctly separated from the middle 

 part. Barbels subequal, shorter than eye. Origin of dorsal 

 distinctly before middle between snout and root of caudal, before 

 origin of ventrals, opposite to about the 2O th [i8th 2i*t] per- 

 forated scale, separated by more than 22 [21 24] scales from 

 the occiput. Dorsal concave, its height more than that of body ; 

 that of the anal x / 3 less. Origin of anal opposite to about the 

 42nd [jQth ^st] perforated scale and about in the middle 

 between root of caudal and base of ventrals. Ventrals reaching 

 anus, slightly shorter than head. Pectorals far distant from 

 ventrals, their longest rays shorter than head. Caudal deeply 

 forked, its lobes pointed, longer than head. Abdomen scaly, 

 with exception of a median naked part beginning before the apex 

 of a triangular scaly patch situated before the base of ventrals. 

 Most scales of back and sides with a keel, which slightly pro- 

 jects beyond the margin of the scale. About 10 pharyngeal 

 teeth. Brownish, underside lighter. A series of six or seven 

 large brown yellow-edged ocelli along the back, which may 

 fuse into three large patches. In one specimen we see a narrow 

 brown band running on the head from the snout, through the 

 eye, to the occiput. Fins with a rather broad dark transverse 

 band. Caudal obliquely and asymmetrically banded. Length 

 132 mm.

i) Where there was discrepancy from the specimens seen by us, we have 

 given in square brackets what was found by Dr. J. PELLEGRIN in the 3 speci- 

 mens of C. V., which were kindly measured for us by the french ichthyologist.
