One of these specimens, a large one from Biba, has the occipital region swollen and 

 the snout bent down at an angle to it, thus repeating to a certain extent the anomaly 

 on which the genus Clarotes was founded by Kner. 



At Beni Souef, according to Mr. Loat's notes, the fish is said to spawn in January, 

 using holes in the bank of the river to deposit its eggs, one or both of the parents 

 probably keeping watch over them, swimming out if disturbed and trying to drive 

 away the intruder. 



Native names according to Mr. Loat: — " Farfour" {j?J)<> the name in general use 

 throughout Egypt; " doc 'ma" or "doc mac" (jr«i«)), only very occasionally used in 

 Egypt; "mislo'gar" (d^L^), at Kosheh; "kabber'ose" (^jl j^\ at Omdurman. 



Specimens of Bagrus docmac, buried in a thick layer of ashes, the body-cavities, 

 mouths, and gill-chambers filled with the same, were found by Mr. Loat in 1903, 

 in the animal cemetery of Mediuet Gurob, on the border of the province of the 

 Fayum *.
