14. BARBUS FERGUSSONII. 



(Plate XLIII. fig. 1.) 



Boulenger, Ann. & Mag. N. H. (7) \dii. 1901, p. 12. 



Depth of body three and two-thirds to four and a half times in the total length, length 

 of head four to four and a half times. Snout rather pointed, three times in the length 

 of the head; diameter of eye five or five and a half times in the length of the head, 

 interorbital width three times ; mouth inferior, its width five times in the length of the 

 head ; lips moderate, interrupted on the chin ; barbels two on each side, anterior a little 

 shorter than the eye, posterior a little longer, the distance between them about one-half 

 diameter of eye. Dorsal fin with IV 9 rays, last simple ray very strong, bony, not 

 serrated, scarcely curved, three-fifths to two-thirds length of head ; free edge of the fin 

 emarginate ; its distance from the occiput less than its distance from the caudal fin. 

 Anal fin with III 5 rays, the longest three-fourths or four-fifths length of head, nearly 

 reaching the root of the caudal fin. Pectoral fin acutely pointed, a little shorter than 

 the head, not reaching the ventral. Latter below the anterior rays of the dorsal. 

 Caudal fin deeply forked. Caudal peduncle once and two-thirds as long as deep. 

 Scales longitudinally striated, 36-37 J, 2J between lateral line and ventral, 12 round 

 caudal peduncle. 



Dark olive-brown above (in spirit), lighter beneath, the scales darker at the base. 



Total length 260 millimetres. 



Two specimens were obtained in Lake Albert Edward by Mr. J. E. S. Moore in 1900. 



B.fergussonii is very closely related to B. intermedius, and barely distinguishable 

 from specimens of that species, of similar size, by the longer and more pointed 

 snout.
