670 Indian Cyrinidce. [August, 



" Obs. This genus hitherto rested on a single species long since found 

 at the Cape of Good Hope, but the Garrce of Buchanan chiefly belong 

 to it, as well as several species which have since been found in India. 



" The first three species are without cirri.

Altitude of the body to its length as one to four, thirty- seven scales along 

 the lateral line, and nine in an oblique row from the base of the ventrals to . 

 the dorsum. D.10: P. 15: V.9: A.7 : C.19. 



Hab. Bramaputra, in Assam. Length about a span. 



Spec. G. petrophilus, J. M. Jour. Asiat. Soc. iv. t. 1. 



Scales very minute, body and head long, eight rays in the dorsal.*

 D.8: P.10: V.9: A.6: C.20. 



Hab. Mishmee mountains. Length about two inches. Griffith's Coll. 



Spec. G. bimaculatus, J. M. 



Snout warty, porous, and divided by a fissure, without cirri ; a black spot 

 at the base of the caudal, lower lobe of the caudal longer than the upper, 

 thirty-four scales along the lateral line and eight rows between the ventrals, 

 and dorsum; pectorals and ventrals lanceolate. D.9: P. 13 : V.9 : A.7 : 



10* 



Hab. River Laeeh at the foot of the Mishmee mountains, where it was 

 found by Mr. Griffith. + 



Spec. Cyp. lamta, Buch. t. 43. f. 2. j3 P. G. p. 343. 

 Cyp. godiyava, id. Coll. 



Four very short cirri, pectorals and ventrals lanceolate, and a black spot

 C.19. 



Hab. Northern parts of Bengal, where it attains 2§ or three inches in 

 length. 

 Spec. G. gotyla, Gray, Hardw. Illust. t. 88. f. 3. 



Snout thick, and divided by a deep transverse fissure in which numerous 

 large mucous pores are situated, a fleshy pendulous point at each corner of 

 the mouth ; four minute cirri.

* The habits of this species are fully described, but we want to know more of its 

 specific characters. 



f The form of the pectorals is not accurately represented in the figure. 



% Also at the foot of the Nipal mountains, where Mr. Hodgson appears to have 

 found a specimen now in the Asiatic Society's collection. In this, however, the lobes 

 of the caudal are of equal length. It is so like the succeeding variety that I have 

 thought it unnecessary to figure it separately.
