 Cuv. & Val. XV. p. 146, pi. 433. 

 The Goonch. 



A coloured drawing in Mr. Hodgson's collection appears to have 

 been taken from a specimen of this species. It agrees with the latter 

 in the form of the harbel and of the fins, but is of a more uniform 

 coloration. A very young specimen in spirit has the fin-rays not 

 prolonged into filaments.

The Mahaser. 



Two finished and coloured drawings, and a pencil sketch of the 

 head. 



19. Barbus brachiatus. 



Leuciscus brachiatus, MacClell. Cypr. p. 409, pi. 42. f. 5. 



Barbus brachiatus, Bleek. Verb. Batav. Genootsch. xxv., Beng. 

 & Hind. p. 19. 



One coloured drawing and several specimens in spirits. 



The barbels are very small, and have been overlooked in Mr. 

 Hodgson's drawings ; yet the form of the humerus and the black 

 dots at the base of the scales are two characters so peculiar that the 

 species is not easily mistaken. Mr. Hodgson adds, that the species 

 is found in streams of hills.
