964 Memorandum on the " Bora Chung," of Bootan. [No. 130. 



I have not as yet succeeded in getting specimens of the " Bora 

 Chung," but expect to do so. I saw those sent from Darjeeling to 

 Calcutta for Dr. M'Clelland. They were each about twelve inches 

 long, of a dark brown colour, and scaly. If Dr. M'Clelland described 

 them, they must be sufficiently known to Naturalists ; but they may not 

 have reached that gentleman ; or, if so, their fate has been similar to 

 that of fourteen species of fish collected in the Bootan Dooars last 

 year, and forwarded by me to Calcutta for Dr. M. I have not had 

 any acknowledgment of their receipt, and I conclude, therefore, that 

 they never reached him.
