1838.] New species of Cyprinidce. 947 



II. Sub-fam. SARCOBORIN^E, J. M. 



3. Gen. Perilampus, J. M. 

 Species, P. elingulalus, J. M. PI. LVI. f. 1. 



Head and fore part of the body deep, humeral plates slightly exposed 

 behind the opercula, snout round and terminates abruptly in front of 

 the eyes ; about 46 scales along the lateral line, eleven in an oblique 

 row from the base of the ventrals to the dorsum. The prominence on 

 the apex of the lower jaw very minute, colors plain, a minute black 

 dot at the apex of each scale. The fin rays are, D. 9 : P. 13 : V. 9 : 

 A. 10: C. 19. 



The stomach and intestine together form a tube about the length of 

 the body. 



Habitat, mountain streams at Simla* — length two inches. 



The only remarkable thing about this species is, that the tongue which 

 is usually much developed and rugous in the other Perilamps appears to 

 be almost wanting in this species, which may lead us to infer that it 

 differs in habit from the Perilamps of the Plains which are all insecti- 

 vorous. 



III. Sub-fam. APALOPTERI1SLE, J. M. 



2. Gen. Platycara, J. M. (Balitora, Gray.) 



Species, P. nasuta, J. M. PI. LV. f. 2, a. b. 



Snout abruptly depressed between the eyes with a large pit between 

 the nostrils, body strong and sub-cylindric, about 34 scales along the 

 lateral line and eight in an oblique row from the base of the ventrals 

 to the dorsum. The fin rays are, D. 10 : P. 16 : V. 9 : A. 6 : C. 15. 



Habitat, Kasya mountains! — length six inches. 



This species differs essentially from either of those figured in Hard- 

 wicke's Illustrations, vide As. Res. XIX. PI. XLIX. fs. 1,2 ; a species 

 corresponding, I suspect, with Balitora maculata, Gray, was found by 

 Mr. Griffith in Butan ; from that specimen, which unfortunately was 

 much injured when it arrived in Calcutta, I have only collected a few 

 particulars regarding the abdominal viscera in addition to the informa* 

 tion regarding its habits obtained by Mr. Griffith. 



V. Gen. Schistura, J. M. 



Species, S. montana, J. M. PI. LV. f. 1. 



Depth of the body to its length as about one to eight, six cirri and a 



single suborbitar spine under each eye, a black streak at the base of 



the caudal, and about twelve broad streaks crossing the body ; with one 



row of black dots crossing the dorsal rays, and a faint row crossing 



* Found by Dr. MacLoed. f Found by Mr. Griffith.
