Length of the head one inch, five lines. 



Greatest diameter of the body one inch, 

 five hnes. 



The other fish was a smaller Cyprinus^ 

 of a yellowish silvery hue, called at Pithoea 

 Wimba. (C. Wimha. Syst. Nat. ed. 12, v. 1. 

 531). I could not perceive it to differ in 

 any character from the preceding, except 

 that it had sixty dots on each side, so that 

 though a smaller fish it had more numerous 

 dots and scales. The colour of the back 

 was paler, and less black ; the sides of a 

 pale silvery hue. Ventral fins reddish at the 

 outer and anterior edges, as is the lower 

 edge of the tail. 



Both these fishes differ from the Roach 

 (Cyprimis Rutihis) in the colours of their 

 eyes and fins, as well as in being thinner 

 at the back.
