Barb. Mussidlah, Sykes. A Barbus with 12 rays in the dorsal, 8 in 

 the anal, and 16 in the pectoral fins, with the mouth furnished 

 with 4 very short cirri, and tuberculated nose; sometimes 3 feet 

 and more long, and a foot high, and weighing 42 pounds.

 the anal, and 10 in the ventral ; with moderate-sized scales ; with 

 callous tubercles on the head, and a short cirrus at each corner 

 of the mouth. 



This fish shows the difficulty of drawing up generic characters to 

 embrace all the species of a genus. Having only 2 cirri, it should 

 not be a Barbel ; but having cirri at all, it does not belong to the 

 next genus Gobio; — moreover, it has a spine in the dorsal.

 16 in the pectoral fins.

 length, but is usually smaller. Proportion of length to height in

 sed shape. Length about a foot ; height 4 inches.
