Another group, designated as the Danionines, has been distin- 
guished because the species differ from all the preceding by the 
course of the lateral line along the caudal peduncle considerably 
below its middle instead of along the middle as in most fishes; the 
anal fin is moderately long, having at least eleven or more branched 
rays. The fishes are mostly small, but some of one genus (Barilius) 
are noteworthy. They have a fusiform or trout-like form, mouth 
deeply cleft (the jaws extending backwards under the eyes), and 
broad sub-orbitals. Fourteen species are recognized by Day as 
Indian and of these one (Barilius bola) is noteworthy as the “ Indian

trout.” The misapplication of the name is less glaring than many 
of the misnomers to be met, for the fish has an outline, mouth, ar- 
rangement of fins, and spots not very unlike those of a trout. Of 
course the likeness is entirely superficial and a little attention reveals 
the fact that differences innumerable exist. Even the color is quite 
unlike that of any trout, the spots being rather large, bluish, and in 
two or more rows.
