260 P. Day — Notes on Fish from Kachh. [No. 3, 



Several specimens up to 6 inches long from Kachh ; others from Puna 

 and Jabalpur, where it was termed " Kolees," as stated by Sykes ; and one 

 specimen in the Calcutta Museum came from Nagpiir. 



Very probably this species may prove to be identical with Tylognathus' 

 striolatus, Griinther, which is stated to have come from Puna. 



8. Cirrliina nirigala, Ham. Buch. Moraka, Kachh. 



Snout tuberculated ; length of head 1/5 in the total length ; five speci- 

 mens up to 8 inches in length. 



9. Cirrliina lata, Ham. Buch. TcMrri, Kachh, 

 Several specimens up to 6 inches in length. 



10. Cirrliina dero, Ham. Buch. 



B. III. D. 3/9, P. 19, V. 9, A. 2/5, C. 19, L. 1. 39, L. tr. 7£/7- 

 Length of head 2/11, of caudal 1/5, height of body 1/5, of dorsal fin 1/6 

 of total length. Eyes rather high up, diameter 1/5 of length of head, li dia- 

 meters from end of snout, and 2 diameters apart. Maxillary barbels minute 

 and concealed in the groove. Snout rather overhanging the mouth and 

 having some open glands across it. Lower jaw the shorter, with a ridge 

 above the symphysis. Fins : dorsal commences midway between the end 

 of the snout and the posterior border of the base of the anal fin, its last 

 ray divided to the root, its upper border very concave, the anterior two 

 and the last ray being elongated ; pectoral rather shorter than the head, and 

 not reaching so far as the ventral ; caudal deeply forked, its lobes being of 

 equal length. Scales : 5-| rows between the lateral line and the base of the 

 ventral fin. Colours : greyish superiorly as low as the row of scales above 

 the lateral line, wherefrom it becomes silvery white. Several specimens up 

 to 6 inches long. I also obtained two others in Calcutta. 



I should have hesitated identifying this fish with Hamilton Buchanan's 

 merely from the engraving ; for that shows very long barbels, but is otherwise 

 correct, even to the relative proportions, but in the text he observes " at 

 each corner of the mouth is a minute tendril." 



11. Barbus sarana, Ham. Buch. Boj)ri, Kachh. 



12. Barbus ticto, Ham. Buch. Bhiari, Kachh. No black spot at the 

 commencement of the lateral line ; dorsal and anal fins tipped with black. 



13. Barbus stigma, Cuv. and Val. Very numerous. 



14. Barbus vittatus, Day. Twelve specimens up to 1*5 of an inch in 

 length. The last undivided dorsal ray is articulated. 



15. Isuria clanrica, Ham. Buch.

18. Macrones carcio, Ham. Buch. 



Local, only found in the deep recesses of streams. Another larger species 

 also occurs, it is probably Macrones aor, H. B,
