LYII. — Descriptions of Two new Cyprinid Fishes from 

 Yunnan Fu. By C. Tate Regan, B.A. 



In a recent paper (Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (7) xiii. 1904, 

 pi\ 190-194) I described some fishes from the lake at 

 Yunnan Fn, collected by Mr. Jolin Graham. The British 

 Museum has now received from him a second consignment 

 from the same locality, including examples of two species 

 wliich arc described below as new to science. 



Barilius Andersoni. 



Depth of body 4f-4i in the length, length of head 4. 

 Snout as long or nearly as long as the eye, the diameter of 

 which is 4-4 j in the length of head and equal to or a little 

 less than the interorbital width. Mouth small, oblique, the 

 maxillary not extending to below tlie eye ; no barbels. 

 Scales 97-105 ^^, 3 or 4 between lateral line and root of 

 ventral. Dorsal III 7, its origin a little behind that of the 

 ventral and equidistant from tip of snout and base of caudal. 

 Anal III 10. Pectoral extending | of the distance from its 

 base to origin of ventral. Caudal forked. Caudal peduncle 

 twice as long as deep. Purplish above, silvery on the sides 

 and below. 



Two specimens, 95 and 125 mm. in total lenoth. 

 Tills species resembles B. polylepis, Regan, from the same 

 locality, but is distinguished by the smaller eye, more 

 numerous scales, and shorter anal fin. I have named it in 

 memory of the late Dr. John Anderson, to whom we are 

 principally indebted for our knowledge of the Reptiles and 

 Fishes of Yunnan. 



Oreinus Grahami. 



Depth of body 4-|-5 in the length, length of head 4-4^. 

 Diameter of eye 44-4f in the length of head, length of 

 snout 3^-3^, interorbital width 3-3^. Margin of lower lip 

 concave ; barbels subequal, or the posterior the longer and 

 ^ the length of head. About 98 scales in the lateral line, 

 23 between origin of dorsal and lateral line, 17 between 

 lateral line and root of ventral. Dorsal lY 8, its origin equi- 

 distant from tip of snout and base of caudal ; the compound 

 serrated ray rather slender and distinctly articulated, its 

 length equal to or a little greater than the distance from 

 anterior margin of eye to extremity of operculum ; upper 

 margin of the fin concave. Anal III 5, extending nearly to
