(Sor-masa, Nep. ; Jungi-Mas., Beng.) (353), Barbus tor. — There appears ta 

 be three varieties of Mahseer ia this district, t«'o of which are dis- 

 tinguished by colour alone, the first being lighter, silver and gold, the^ 

 second darker, slate and copper approaching the colour of B. hexas- 

 tichus, and the third known by its elegant shape and neat mouth 

 The first type is everywhere the commonest, though in the Sankos, the 

 second is fairly common ; the third t'ype is least common ; it has been. 

 caught in the Jaldhaka and, I thin!:, in the Torsa and Sankos. 



(Katli, Nep. ; Baluk, Beng.) (354) , Barbus hexastichus . — The fish which we 

 get here does not quite tally with the description in the Fauna, the 

 fins being slaty-blue and with no reddish tinge in the caudal and anal. 

 In a freshly caught fish the scales above the lateral row are almost 

 exactly the colour of a freshly minted penny and their bases are 

 bronze-green ; those below the lateral row are white with a faint blue- 

 green wash. The upper part of the head is dark olive, almost black, 

 fading to white on the underside.
