strongly defined from the silvery sides ; caudal edged with dark ; the other 

 fins yellow. 



Sab. — The Ravi river at Lahore, where it attains four inches in length 

 and is not uncommon. 



This fish differs in coloration from McClelland's, which, he ohserves, has 

 nine incomplete oars on the sides. The reason of this may he, that his speci- 

 mens were obtained from the Khyher pass and Kabul river, where coloration 

 is probably more vivid ; as, however, the species possesses a pair of minute 

 maxillary barbels, McClelland's name, (provided both are identical) , is a mis- 

 nomer.

Length of head 1/5, of caudal, 1/6, height of dorsal 1/7, of body 1/5 

 of the total length. — Eyes : diameter 1/3 of length of head, 3/4 of a diame- 

 ter from end of snout. Lower jaw slightly the longer, having pores on its 

 lower surface, but none on the snout ; the posterior extremity of the maxilla 

 extends to beneath the middle of the orbit. Third suborbital bone not 

 quite half as wide as the uncovered portion of the cheek below it. Humeral 

 process small. Four long barbels, the rostral extending to below the pos- 

 terior third of the orbit, the maxillary to about the same place. Fins : 

 dorsal rather higher than its base is long, but not so high as the body below 

 it, commencing midway between the snout and middle of the length of the 

 caudal fin, its last one or two rays being over the anal ; the lower caudal 

 lobe slightly the longer. Pectoral as long as the head without the snout, and 

 extending three-fourths of the distance to the ventral- which does not reach 

 the anal. — Scales : with several raised lines on each ; two and a half rows 

 between the lateral line and base of the ventral fin. — Colours : silvery, be- 

 coming white beneath, and having a purplish tinge along the back ; seven
