Fins. — Dorsal arises rather nearer to the snout than to the base 

 of the caudal fin, and opposite the 12th scale of the lateral line, 

 upper margin of fin very slightly concave. Caudal with sharp and 

 deeply forked lobes, which have convex edges internally. 



Scales : — in straight rows, seven in the line between the origin of 

 the dorsal fin and the lateral line, and 5 J between the latter and 

 the base of the ventral. 



Lateral line : — in single tubes, and almost straight in its direction. 



Colours. — Silvery, dark grey along the back, sometimes having a 

 coppery tinge, and the pectoral, ventral and anal orange. Eyes golden. 



Habitat, — Eivers and tanks in Bengal and Burma, grows to 3 

 feet in length. It is an excellent species for stocking tanks with. I 

 have taken it in Rangoon 18R> in weight. 



This species is closely allied to G. chinensis, Giinther, the head, 

 however, is shorter and the mouth not quite so wide. The two 

 species might almost be classed as local varieties.
