18 Mr. G. A. Boulenger on new 



caudal with a black basal bar and a transverse band of 

 crowded black spot-;. 



Total length 60 mm. 



Four specimens from the Atesu River, Gold Coast, from 

 Mr. E.. B. N. Walker^s collection. These specimens have 

 been recorded by Gunther (P. Z. S. 1902, ii. p. 336) under 

 the name of Amjyhih'iis plati/chir, Gthr,, a species which 

 differs in the ventral fins being some way behind the vertical 

 of the dorsal, which is much nearer the end of the snout than 

 the root of the caudal, in the longer snout, and in the shorter 

 barbels. 



Chiloglanis carneronenna. 



Body somewhat depressed in front, compressed behind, its 

 depth 4^ to 5 times in the total length. Head depressed, 

 once and ^ as long as broad, its length 3 times in the total 

 length. Eye directed upwards, in second half of head, its 

 diameter 7 or 8 times in length of head, once and f in inter- 

 orbital width, which equals or is a little less than the distance 

 between eye and posterior nostril ; prfemaxillary teeth in 

 two large oval groups, well separated on the middle line, 

 forming 4 or 5 transverse series ; a group of 12 to 14 

 slender mandibular teeth ; maxillary barbel ^ to ^ length of 

 liead, longer than the lower labials. Dorsal I 5 ; spine not 

 serrated, about g length of head. Adipose low, its base about 

 I its distance from the rayed dorsal. Anal III 5-6. Pectoral 

 spine not serrated, f to § length of head. Ventral extending to 

 origin of anal or a little beyond. Caudal slightly emarginate. 

 Caudal peduncle once and a halt as long as deep. Pale 

 brownish above ; head marbled with dark olive and with a 

 chevron-shaped dark band passing through the eyes, the 

 point on the occiput ; three broad dark cross-bands on the 

 body, the first behind the dorsal, the second across the base 

 of the adipose fin, the third at the base of the caudal ; fins 

 Avhitish, with a dark band across the caudal. 



Total length 50 mm. 



Seven specimens from Efulen, South Cameroon, collected 

 by Mr. G. L. Bates. 



This species is closely related to C. modjensis, Blgr., 

 recently described from Southern Ethiopia, from which it is 

 readily distinguished by the shorter caudal peduncle and the 

 wider interspace between the two groups of prsemaxillary 

 teeth.
