 Height 3.3 3.5, 4.3 4.6 in length with caudal. Head 4.3 4.4, 



5.6 5.7 in length with caudal. Eye about 3, about equal to 

 snout but much shorter than interorbital space. On the top 

 of the snout two series of conspicuous pores, separated by a 

 deep transverse furrow, the upper pores decreasing in size, 

 reaching nearly to below nostrils. Maxillary barbels much longer 

 than eye, the rostral ones shorter. Origin of dorsal opposite 

 to nth or i2th scale of lateral line, separated by 14 16 scales 

 from occiput. Height of dorsal decreasing gradually hindwards, 

 its longest rays somewhat shorter than length of head. Anal 

 nearly truncate, its longest ray about equal to head without 

 snout, its origin opposite to 25^ scale, and to 2it or 22 n <* 

 branched dorsal ray. Ventrals equal to pectorals, reaching anus, 

 separated by 6 scales from 19^ to 2o th scale of lateral line, and 

 opposite to 7*h branched dorsal ray. Pectorals somewhat shorter 

 than head. Caudal deeply incised, the lobes pointed, about 

 equal to height of body. Least height of caudal peduncle more 

 than twice in length of head, about 1.4 in length of peduncle, 

 surrounded by 20 scales. A brownish streak along each series 

 of scales, that of the lateral line more distinct. Upper and 

 lower margin of the caudal and in a less degree its hind margin 

 blackish. Dorsal fin darkish, other fins hyaline. Length 263 mm. 



N o m. i n d i g. : Masik, Ma (Bulit). 



Habitat: Sumatra (Pangabuang, Benakat on river Lema-

i) GUNTHER states that there are 3Va scales between the lateral line and the 

 root of the ventral fin, this must be a misprint, as well as that there are S 1 /* 

 rows of scales below the lateral line in the linea transv ersalis.
