This species is very common in Orissa, but still more so in the 
Cossye river, where it attains 43 inches in length. I obtained one 
adult specimen in which the anal fin was entirely absent.

Bowley Ug Balan Veer Cul. Ls li Abe ieditiere: 
Length of head 1, of pectoral 4, of base of dorsal 1, of base of 
anal +, of caudal j of the total length. Height of head ;?,, of body +4, 
of dorsal fin +, of ventral 4, of anal 4 of the total length. 
Eyes. Diameter + of length of head, ? of a diameter from end of 
snout, 1; diameter apart. 
Posterior extremity of upper jaw extends to beneath the anterior 
margin of the orbit. The lower jaw is the longest. Third sub- 
orbital bone broad. Barbels absent. 
Fins. Dorsal commences midway between the anterior margin of 
the orbit and the base of the caudal fin. Pectoral reaches the 
ventral, which last extends nearly to the anal. The anal commences 
below about the third dorsal ray. Caudal lunated. 
Scales. Two and a half rows between the lateral line and the base 
of the ventral fin. 
Colours. Superiorly greenish, becoming silvery white on the abdo- 
men. ‘The anterior portion of the body is reticulated in its centre 
with stecl-blue lines, divided from one another by narrow yellow 
bands. Three bluish lines are continued towards the caudal fin, 
where the two lower coalesce, and passing upwards become lost on 
the upper half of the caudal fin. 
Hab. Salundee river, in Orissa. 
This species varies but slightly from the D. devario, H. Buch., of 
which I consider it a variety. Some five specimens of the D. devario 
have been received from Assam at the Calcutta Museum, and they 
have A. a but do not otherwise differ from the Orissa fish,
