Freshwater Fishes from Southern Cameroon. 437 
from the Congo, which is easily distinguished by its more 
numerous scales (29-30 >) and anal rays (19 or 20 branched), 
the position of the dorsal fin entirely behind the ventrals, and 
the smaller size. 
Nannocharaz intermedius. 
Body strongly compressed, its depth 5 to 54 times in total 
length. Head deeper than broad, more than twice as long as 
broad, 43 to 44 times in total length ; snout pointed, a little 
shorter than the eye, the diameter of which is 3 times in 
length of head and equals or slightly exceeds interorbital 
width ; mouth small, inferior, with 8 teeth in each jaw ; sub- 
orbitals and opercle very feebly striated. Dorsal II 11, 
originating above base of ventrals, its first ray at equal 
distance from the end of the snout and the adipose fin; 
longest ray equals length of head. Anal III 7-8. Pectoral 
sharply pointed, as long as head or slightly shorter, reaching 
a little beyond origin of ventrals; latter reaching vent. 
Caudal forked, with sharply pointed lobes. Caudal peduncle 
twice as long as deep. Scales 47-50 ae 5 between the 
lateral line and the root of the ventral. Yellowish, with 11 
to 13 brown cross-bars, which are darker on the sides; a dark 
blotch at the base of the caudal fin, which is traversed by a 
greyish bar; dorsal fin with small dark spots forming trans- 
verse series. 
Total length 63 millim. 
Four specimens from the Kribi River. 
This species is intermediate between N. neloticus, Joannis, 
and N. fasccatus, Gthr. 
Barbus je. 
Depth of body equal to length of head, 34 to 34 times in 
total length. Snout rounded, shorter than the eye, the 
diameter of which is barely 3 times in length of head; 
mouth small, nearly terminal, with feebly developed lips; no 
barbels. Dorsal ILI 7; last simple ray not ossified, a little 
shorter than head; the border of the fin not emarginate, its 
origin nearer end of snout than root of caudal. Anal III 5. 
Pectoral shorter than head, not reaching ventral; latter a 
little behind vertical of origin of dorsal. Caudal forked. 
Caudal peduncle nearly twice as long as deep. Scales 
23 =, 2 between lateral line and ventral, 8 round caudal 
peduncle. Yellowish, the scales edged with dark brown; a 
large round black spot on each side behind the gill-cleft,
