probable that specimens " a — b, 4^ inches long, from the collection of the 

 East India Company" now in the British Museum, may have been a por- 

 tion of the ten typical specimens of O. piscatorius, McClelland, which 

 were presented by him to the East India Museum, (see McClelland's list in 

 Cal. Journ. of Nat. Hist.,) and now form types of P>. albivrnus, Giinther. 



3. Baeilixts (Pachystomus) kadiolatus. 



Barilius ra&iolosbus, Giinther, Catal., vii, p. 287. 



B. III. D. 2/8, P. 15, V. 9, A. 2/10, C. 19, L. 1. 56, L. tr. 5/6. 



Length of head 2/9, height of body 2/9 of the total length, excluding 

 the caudal fin. The specimens in the British Museum are in a very bad 

 state, having apparently been dried and subsequently placed in spirit by the 

 Messrs. von Schlagintweit, or else when just caught immersed in alco- 

 hol which was too strong, and subsequently shaken about until their 

 tails were destroyed. — Eyes : diameter 2/7 of length of head, 1 diameter 

 from end of snout, and rather more apart. The posterior extremity of the 

 maxilla extends to a little behind the front edge of the orbit ; lower jaw 

 projects slightly when the mouth is closed. The third suborbital bone near- 

 ly reaches the preopercular ridge. Humeral process short. Two pairs of 

 short barbels. — Fins : the dorsal higher than long, commencing midway 

 between the eye and the root of the caudal fin, its last ray not extending so 

 far as to arise above the anal. Caudal apparently deeply forked. 



Sab. — Central India.

Length of head 2/11, of caudal 2/11, height of body 2/9 of the total 

 length. — Eyes : situated in the anterior half of the head, and 3/4 of a 

 diameter from the end of snout. Suborbital ring of bones wide, the third 

 nearly touching the preopercular ridge. Upper jaw slightly the longer ; the 

 posterior extremity of the maxilla reaches to below the middle of the orbit. 

 Rostral barbels extend to beneath the front margin of the eye ; the maxil- 

 lary pair minute. Humeral process short. Fins : dorsal two-thirds as high 

 as the body below it, commencing midway between the posterior extremity 

 of the caudal lobes and the snout : it is entirely, or all but the last ray, in 

 advance of the anal. Pectoral nearly as long as the head, but not reaching 

 the ventrals, which last extend half way to the base of the anal. — Lateral 

 line : very slightly concave. — Scales deciduous, two and a half rows between 

 the lateral line and the base of the ventral fin. — Colours : back brownish.
