1869.] FRESHWATER FISHES OF BURMA. 621 
the orbit and the base of the caudal, being opposite the interspace 
between the ventral and anal fins. Pectoral nearly reaches ventral. 
Caudal forked, lower lobe slightly the longest. 
Scales strongly lineated. ‘Two aud a half rows between the lateral 
line and the base of the anal fin. 
Colours. Silvery, shot with purple; two rows of blue spots along 
the side. Lower caudal lobe orange, with a dark margin along its 
upper half. 
Hab. Irrawaddi, from Prome to Mandalay ; very common. Spe- 
cimens obtained up to 7 inches in length. 
DANIO STOLICZK4, sp. nov. 
B. iii. D.2/7. P.13. V.7. A.2/13. C.19. 1.1.33. L. tr. 54/3. 
Length of head nearly 4, of caudal 2, height of body from } to 2 
of the total length. 
Eyes. Diameter + of length of head, ? of a diameter from end of 
snout. 
Body moderately compressed. 
Maxillary barbels reach beyond the base of the pectoral fin; ros- 
tral barbels as far as the posterior margin of the orbit. Lower jaw 
anterior. Cleft of mouth very oblique, extending halfway to below 
the orbit. 
Fins. Dorsal commences midway between the end of the head and 
the base of the caudal, and slightly in advance of the anal. Caudal 
lunate. 
Scales. A single row along the base of the anal fin. One and a 
half row between the lateral line and the base of the ventral. 
Colours. Greenish superiorly ; a scarlet band commences from 
below the base of the dorsal fin, it gradually widens and is continued 
to the centre of the base of the caudal, it has a black lower edging. 
Dorsal edged with red. Anal with a yellow stripe along its centre. 
ab. Moulmein, in tanks and streams. Upwards of 100 taken, 
up to 2 inches in length. 
I have named this species after Dr. Stoliczka, who personally 
captured the first three which were obtained. 
Danio SPINOSUS, Sp. nov. 
Beit, Di. P.13,.V.7. A.3/17. C.19, L.1.52. 1. tr. 15/4. 
Length of head 1, of caudal 1, height of body 4 of the total length. 
Eyes. Diameter 2 of length of head, 1 diameter from end of snout 
and apart. 
Body strongly compressed; a slight concavity in dorsal profile 
over the occiput. 
Barbels absent. Lower jaw prominent, having a strong hook, 
whilst there is an emargination to receive it in the upper jaw. In 
the adult there is rather a sharp spine pointing forwards above the 
anterior superior margin of the orbit, and a second, broader and not 
so sharp, before the centre of the anterior orbital margin. In the 
immature both these spines are equally sharp.
