 Botia almorhae in "Meetan" and " Meekalan" (Burma). I think 

 the later records require confirmation.

This species is Buchanan's 2 Gengto of Goalpara. I collected 

 some specimens at Gorakhpur which correspond in every respect 

 with the figure published by its author. Giinther ! ' considered 

 it to be the young of Botia dario and Day* in his earlier works 

 was of the same view. The specimens from Gorakhpur are 

 not in good condition for detailed morphological investigation 

 and I am therefore unable to confirm Gunther's statement. The 

 colouration is, however very distinct and seems to be characteristic 

 of the species.
