of snout. Upper surface of the head flattened ; mouth horse-shoe shaped, 

 compressed, and anterior, lower jaw not covered hy lip ; the posterior extre- 

 mity of the maxilla reaches half way to below the orbit. Barbels absent. 

 Fins, upper margin of dorsal straight, the fin is half as high as the body and 

 without any osseous ray, it commences midway between the posterior margin 

 of the orbit, and the base of the caudal ; pectoral as long as the head with- 

 out the snout, not reaching the ventral, which arises under the anterior dor- 

 sal rays and does not extend to the anal ; caudal forked. Scales, <k\ rows 

 between the row which contains the lateral line and the base of the ventral 

 fin. Lateral line ceases on the seventh scale. Colours silvery, darkest 

 above ; a black blotch on the 17th and 18th rows of scales, and posterior to 

 the anal and dorsal fins. 



Zlab. — From Chua Saidar Shah, Salt Range ; specimens up to 2i inches 

 in length were collected by Dr. Waagen who kindly furnished me with 

 them.

From a recent examination of several fine specimens of this fish obtain- 

 ed by Dr. Stoliczka in Kachh I find its last undivided dorsal ray is articulat-

 out osseous dorsal ray.
