upper. The maxillary band of teeth is about three times as wide as lonfr. 

 Fins enveloped at the base in thick skin. Dorsal fin with the first ray 

 osseous, its origin being midway between the end of the snout and the 

 adipose fin. Adipose fin low and long, about as long as the anal fin. 

 Pectoral fin, with the first ray long and serrated, extending backwards 

 to below the middle of the dorsal. Ventral fins at some distance behind 

 the dorsal, short, not extending to the anal. Caudal subtruncated. 



Brownish -black with broad pure white margins to all the fins. 



Length 4i inches. From mountain streams running into the INIin 

 River, province Sze Chuen.

19. Pscudogohio sinensis (Kner). Kiu-kiang. 



20. Pseudogohio inoductus (Ptrs.). Kiu-kiang. 



21. Pseudogohio maculatus sp. n. D. 10. A. 8. L. lat. 41.. 



L. transv. 4/5. 



Barbels none. Body rather compressed, its greatest depth being equal 

 to the length of the head and one-fourth of the total (without caudal) ; 

 snoiit rather compressed, of moderate length, a little longer than the eye, 

 the diameter of which is nearly one-fom-th of the length of the head. 

 Interorbital space convex, as wide as the orbit. Mouth very small, sub- 

 anterior ; lower lip interrupted in the middle. The origin of the dorsal 

 fin is nearer to the end of the snout than to the root of the caudal ; ven- 

 trals mserted below the middle of the dorsal ; caudal fin moderately 

 forked ; pectoral not quite so long as the head, extending to the origin of 

 the dorsal fin, but not to the root of the ventral. Silvery, with large, 

 irregular, deep black spots, each occupying one or more scales ; anterior 

 part of the dorsal fin and a band along each caudal lobe black. 



Two specimens, the larger of which is three inches long, are in the 

 collection. 



This species would belong, on account of the absence of barbels, to 

 Bleeker's genus SarcochilichtJiijs. 



22. Ilhinogohio cylindricus, sp. n. D. 11. A. 8. L. lat. 48. 



L. transv. 6/7. 



Body low, subcyclindrical, its greatest depth bemg contained five-and- 

 a-half times in the total length (without caudal), the length of the head 

 foiu' times and a fourth. Head low, with the snout much elongate and 

 pointed, the eye being rather nearer to the gill-opening than to the end 

 of the snout ; the projecting part of the snout is swollen, conical, the 

 raoiTtli being entirely at the lower side of the snout. Eye one-fifth of the
