jaw slightly overlapping the lower ; cleft of the mouth oblique, 

 the maxillary not quite reaching the vertical from the front 

 margin of the orbit. Nape of the neck but little raised above 

 the level of the head. Extremities of the fins obtusely rounded 

 off. The origin of the dorsal fin is nearer to the root of the 

 caudal than to the end of the snout, and behind the vertical from 

 the root of the ventral ; it is higher than long. Anal fin rather 

 loiver than long. Caudal excision moderate. Pectoral shorter 

 than the head, not reaching the ventral. Caudal peduncle nearly 

 or not quite twice as long as deep. There are three series of 

 scales between the lateral line and ventral fin. Back bluish, sides 

 silvery, both colours separated by a narrow straight black band 

 running from the upper half of the eye to the end of the lateral 

 line. Pharyngeal teeth 5.2-2.5. 



Two specimens, 105 and 83 millim. long, from Ula on the Zola 

 Chai.

The height of the body equals the length of the head and is 

 one fourth of the total (without caudal). Diameter of the eye 

 one fourth of the length of the head and a little less than the 

 width of the interorbital space, which is transversely convex. 

 Snout obtuse, as long as the eye ; upper jaw slightly overlapping 

 the lower ; cleft of the mouth oblique, the maxillary not reaching 

 the vertical from the front margin of the orbit. Nape of the 

 neck but little raised above the level of the head. The origin of 

 the dorsal fin is nearer to the root of the caudal than to the 

 end of the snout, and behind the vertical from the root of the 

 ventral ; it is higher than long. Anal fin a little higher than 

 long. Caudal excision moderate, lobes pointed. Pectoral shorter 

 than the head, not reaching the ventral. Caudal peduncle twice 

 as long as deep. There are two and a half series of scales between 

 the lateral line and ventral fin. Back bluish, sides silvery, dotted 

 with numerous minute pigment-spots; a narrow straight blackish 

 band runs from the upper end of the gill-opening to the end of 

 the lateral line. Pharyngeal teeth 5.2-2.5, 



Three specimens, the largest 90 millim. long, from the Gader 

 Chai ; three young specimens from near the mouth of the Nazlu 

 Chai at Superghan.
