For this species we are indebted to Dr. Macleod, who found it in the 

 mountain streams at Simla.

 body contracts suddenly under the dorsal and over the insertion of the anal 

 fin ; there are thirty-three scales along the lateral line, and nine in an oblique

 specimens to be from four to six inches, but it may attain a larger size.
