B. iii, D. 9-10(V), P- 15, V. 9, A. 8(f), C. 19, L. 1. 65-66, L. tr. 14/12. 



Length of head 4 to 4-|, of caudal 5, height of body 3| in the total length. Eyes— in the front half of 

 the head, 4 to 4j diameters in the length of the head, 1 diameter from end of snout, and 1^ apart. Abdominal 

 and dorsal profiles about equally convex. Teei^— pharyngeal, compressed and with flat crowns, 3, 2, 1/1, 2, 3. 

 Fins — dorsal 2/3 as high as the body, its upper edge concave, it commences nearly m.idway between the anterior 

 edge of the eye and the base of the caudal fin, and slightly behind the origin of the ventral. Anal arises on 

 the vertical just posterior to the end of the dorsal. Lateral-line — ceases after 19 scales; there are 9 or 10 rows 

 between it and the base of the ventral fin. Colours — silvery, with a golden gloss about the head. 



This species is identical with an example of Leuciscus harengula, Cuv. and Val. shown to me as the type 

 at Paris, bat which does not quite agree either with the figure or with the description. 



Habitat. — Throughout native and British Burma. It attains at least 6 inches in length.

B. iii, D. 9(1-), P. 15, V. 9, A. 7(|), C. 19, L. 1. 65-75. L. tr. 12/12. 



Length of head about 5, of caudal 5, height of body 4 to 4i in the total length. ^ye«— diameter 3| to 

 4 in the length of head, 3/4 to 1 diameter from the end of snout, and li apart. Dorsal profile more convex than 

 that of the abdomen. Fins — origin of dorsal midway between front edge of eye and base of the caudal, it is 

 behiud the insertion of the ventral, its upper edge is concave. Caudal deeply forked. Lateral-line— e^ienda 

 along about 15 scales, and there are 9 or 10 rows between it and the base of the ventral fin. Colours— & silvery 

 lateral band, and usually dark markings on the dorsal, caudal, and anal fins. 



In some specimens from the Irrawaddi, I found the scales rather large, L. 1. 65, and the ongm of the 

 dorsal directly above the insertion of the ventral. 



Eahitat—Wvom. Sind throughout India, (except the Malabar Coast,) Assam and Burma.

 3f to 4 in the length of the head, less than 1 diameter from the end of snout. Dorsal profile rather more convex 

 than that of the abdomen, i^ms— origin of dorsal midway between middle or hmd edge of eye and base ot the 

 caudal fin, and slightly behind the origin of the ventral, its upper edge concave, its last ray is dividecl to its

This species is distinguished by the much fewer number of scales (4 or o) between tJie row 

 which carries the lateral-line and the base of the ventral fin, than is seen m the common (.y to iu;

McClelland's fish may be an elongated example of A. mola, I have not taken this species m Assam. 



Habitat.— 'From the Hooghly through Orissa and down the Coromandel Coast to Madras.
