(Plate III. Fig. A.) 



This species differs from the typical species of Honialojjtera in the 

 shape of its snout and in the arrangement of the barhels. The snout is 

 flat and spatulate, considerably narrowed in front and nearly as long as 

 broad ; the mouth is siuTounded with fringes, from which the barbels 

 differ only by then greater size ; the barbels and fringes of the upper jaw 

 arranged in two concentric series, two pairs of barbels standing in the 

 outer series ; behind each angle of the mouth there is a third pair of 

 barbels. 



Scales minute and smooth, but there are a few larger ones along the 

 median line of the back and along the lateral line. Origin of the anal fin 

 rather nearer to the root of the caudal than to the occiput. Eyes very 

 small, much nearer to the gill-openmg than to the end of the snout ; 

 ventral fins opposite to* the anterior half of the dorsal. Pectoral fins not 

 extending to the ventrals. Body with broad, indistinct, dark cross bands ; 

 pectoral, ventral, and caudal fins with gi-eyish spots. 



Three specimens, 4^ inches long, from Ichang and the Min River. 



S7. Homaloptera abbreviata, sTp. n. D. 11. A. 7. P. 23. V. 14-15. 

 L. lat. 75. (Plate III. Fig. B.) 



The scales are smooth and very small ; those of the lateral line are 

 somewhat larger, and seventy-five perforated scales can be counted in it. 

 Snout roinided and nearly twice as long as the postorbital part of the 

 head. Barbels short and simple ; upper lip fringed, but not the lower. 

 The dorsal fin occupies the middle between the snout and caudal fin, its 

 origin being somewhat behind that of the ventrals. Pectorals extending 

 beyond the origin of the ventrals ; caudal deeply forked. 



Upper parts dark coloured, fins yellowish, lower caudal lobe with a 

 diffuse, blackish longitudinal band. 



One specimen foiu' inches long from mountain streams running into 

 the Min Eiver, Province Sze Chuen.
