1872.] F. Day — Monograph of Indian Cyprinidce. 325 



Scales, two or three rows above the lateral line are of a large oblong form, 

 above these are numerous small irregular ones, whilst the scales on the chest 

 are likewise very small ; four and a half rows exist between the lateral line 

 and the base of the ventral. Colours olive, shot with gold. 



Sab. — Rivers in the Sind hills up to 3500 feet elevation. I have also 

 received from Dr. W. Waagen,* four specimens of a species of this genus 

 obtained from Marri, and which are scarcely separable from the foregoing ; 

 they have L. 1. 3S, L. tr. 7-§/9, whilst the rows of scales above the lateral 

 line are not so distinctly irregular. The largest of these specimens is 6 

 inches in length. 



Babbits (bakbodes) Himalayanus. 



Chit-raJi-too, Panj. 



B. Ill, D. 3/8, P. 15, V. 9, A. 2/5, C. 17, L. 1. 32-34, L. tr. 5|/6. 



Length of head nearly 1/4 (4/13) , of caudal 1/6, height of body 1/4 of 

 the total length. Eyes, diameter 2/11 of length of head, 2i diameters from 

 end of snout, and 2 diameters apart. Dorsal and abdominal profiles equally 

 convex. Head, much compressed, a depression across the snout just ante- 

 rior to the orbits, lower lip lobed as in B. tor ; upper jaw the longer with- 

 out thickened lips. Barbels, the rostral pair of the same length as the 

 maxillary, and they equal \\ diameters of the orbit. Fins, dorsal commen- 

 ces midway between the nostrils or the anterior margin of the orbit and the 

 base of the caudal fin, its spine is moderately stout, entire, and equals the 

 length of the head without the snout, upper margin of fin concave ; pecto- 

 ral as long as the head without the snout, it does not reach the ventral, 

 which is slightly shorter and does not extend so far as the base of the anal, 

 which last reaches the root of the caudal when laid flat ; caudal forked, lobes 

 of equal length. Scales, 3^ rows between the lateral line and the base of 

 the ventral fin. Colours golden above, becoming silvery below ; the mar- 

 gins of the scales with numerous fine black dots, in the young a black mark 

 behind the gill openings ; fins reddish. 



Sab. — Ussun river, about four miles from Simla. Out of five specimens 

 the longest was 7 inches in length. 



Babbits (puntitjs) Waagem. 

 B. Ill, D. i=- 3 , P. 15, V. 9, A. 2/5, C. 17, L. 1. 23-24, L. tr. 4/7. 



Length of head 1/4, of caudal 2/9, height of body 1/3 of the total 

 length. Syes, in the anterior half of the head, 3/4 of a diameter from end 



* Besides the fislies alluded to in this paper, the collection contained the folio-w- 

 ing from Marri in the Panjab : Macrones Lamarrii, Val., Ldbeo ricnorliynclvus, McClell., 

 Barous tor, H. B. Likewise Barilius piscatorius, McClell., from a fresh water stream 

 near Wallns. Also one small specimen of Cirrhina goliama, H. B., and several of Ne- 

 macheilus corica, H. B.
