upper. The maxillary band of teeth is about three times as wide as long. 
Fins enveloped at the base in thick skin. Dorsal fin with the first ray 
osseous, its origin being midway between the end of the snout and the 
adipose fin. Adipose fin low and long, about as long as the anal fin. 
Pectoral fin, with the first ray long and serrated, extending backwards 
to below the middle of the dorsal. Ventral fins at some distance behind 
the dorsal, short, not extending to the anal. Caudal subtruncated. 
Brownish-black with broad pure white margins to all the fins. 
Length 44 inches. From mountain streams running into the Min 
River, province Sze Chuen.

21. Pseudogobio maculatus sp. n. D. 10. A. 8& IL. lat. 41. 
L. transv. 4/5. 
Barbels none. Bodyrather compressed, its greatest depth being equal 
_. to the length of the head and one-fourth of the total (without caudal) ; 
snout rather compressed, of moderate length, a little longer than the eye, 
the diameter of which is nearly one-fourth of the length of the head. 
Interorbital space convex, as wide as the orbit. Mouth very small, sub- 
anterior; lower lip interrupted in the middle. The origin of the dorsal 
fin is nearer to the end of the snout than to the root of the caudal; ven- 
trals inserted below the middle of the dorsal; caudal fin moderately 
forked ; pectoral not quite so long as the head, extending to the origin of 
the dorsal fin, but not to the root of the ventral. Silvery, with large, 
irregular, deep black spots, each occupying one or more scales; anterior 
part of the dorsal fin and a band along each caudal lobe black. 
Two specimens, the larger of which is three inches long, are in the 
collection. 
This species would belong, on account of the absence of barbels, to 
Bleeker’s genus Sarcochilichthys. 
22. Rhinogobio cylindricus, sp. n. D. 11. A. 8 LL. lat. 48. 
L. transv. 6/7. 
Body low, subeyclindrical, its greatest depth being contained five-and- 
a-half times in the total length (without caudal), the length of the head 
four times and a fourth. Head low, with the snout much elongate and 
pointed, the eye being rather nearer to the gill-opening than to the end 
of the snout; the projecting part of the snout is swollen, conical, the 
mouth being entirely at the lower side of the snout. Eye one-fifth of the
