Length of head 6 J to 6J, of caudal 4 to 4|, height of hody 4 to 4J in the total length. %es— diameter 

 3f to 4| in the length of head, li to li diameters from the end of snout, and 2 apart. Dorsal profile more 

 convex than that of the abdomen. The greatest width of the head equals its length excluding the snout, 

 Width of the mouth 3i in the length of the head, and slightly overhung by the snout which is obtuse, rather 

 swollen and studded with minute pores, but destitute of a lateral lobe. Lips thick, continuous and having an 

 inner fold above and below, both fringed. A cartUaginotis layer on the inner side of both jaws. Barbels — 

 rostral and maxillary pairs short. ,Teeth — pharyngeal, 5, 3, 2/2, 3, 6. Fins — dorsal commences somewhat 

 nearer the snout than to the base of the caudal, it is 2/3 as high as the body, its upper edge concave. Pectoral 

 nearly as long as the head, it does not reach the ventral. The ventral nearly extends to the anal, and the latter 

 to the caudal. Caudal deeply forked. Lateral-lime — 6 or 7 rows of scales between it and the base of the ventral 

 fin. Colours — silvery along the back, becoming lighter on the sides and beneath. Pins, more especially the 

 ventral, anal, and lower caudal lobe, stained with black. Sometimes a diffused dark blotch at the base of the 

 caudal, and which is almost invariably present in the young, 



■ The only diEEerence observed between L. narwar, H.B. and L. fimbriatus, Bloch, is that the former is said 

 to have "the edges of the lips smooth." 



Habitat. — Sind, Punjab, the Deccan, and probably N. E. Benga,! ; also Southern India at least to Orissa, 

 not recorded from Malabar or Ca-narai. It attains a foot and a half in length, and is good ^^iting, biit bony,

B. iii, D. 17.18(xf:f5), P- 19, A. 7(f), C. 19,21, L. 1. 36, L. tr. 6/7. 



Length of head 5, of caudal 4^ to 5, height of body 3 J in the total length. -E^es — diajme^er 4 to 5 in 

 the length of head, 2 diameters from the end of snout and also apart. The greatest width of the head equals 

 its length excluding the snout, which last is rather swollen and rounded, and somewhat projecting over the 

 lower jaw ; a small lateral lobe ; glands over the whole of the snout. A very distinct labial fold- both above 

 and below : a deep transv,erse groove across the chin : lower lip deeply fringed, JBarZ^eZs-r-thp nu^xUlary ones as 

 long as the orbit, the rostral rather shorter. Fkis — upper edge of the dorsal fin nearly straight, it commences 

 midway between the front end of the snout and the posterior end of the base of the anSfl fin. The pectoral 

 reaches to above the ventral, the latter, which is inserted beneath the fourth dorsal ray, reaches to the anal. 

 Anal rather elongated anteriorly, being 3/5 higher thaj; its base is long, and if laid bajckwards it reaches the 

 base of the caudal, which latter fin is deeply forked. Scales — 4J rows between the lateral lii(e and base of the 

 ventral fin. Colours — deep brown, each scale with a black spot at its base. Pins black. 



Habitat. — Mangalore apd South Canara. It is said to attain 18 inches in length,
