and the jaws recurved directly upwards, with a sharp point on the apex 

 of the lower jaw ; both are so nearly allied to each other, and correspond so 

 much with the Leuciscs in the form and disposition of their fins, that we 

 may describe them together in the same genus, although perhaps the true 

 place of the one would be at the close of the Perilamps, and of the other, at 

 the commencement of the Leuciscs. 



I. — Leuciscus lateralis. 



Cyprinus anjana, Buch, Coll. 



The dorsal is placed opposite the ventrals, anal small ; a blue stripe 

 extends from the mouth over the operculum on either side to the 

 caudal. The head is more compressed than the body, the jaws somewhat 

 flattened and directed upwards, with a short point on the apex of the lower 

 one, which is received into a corresponding fissure in the upper jaw. There 

 is a depression on the crown, from which the jaws appear recurved, and this 

 is the only difference in the figure of this species from that given of Cyprinus 

 daniconius, P. G. t. 15. f. 89. The fin rays are,

 P. G. t. 15. f. 89. 



The arch of the back descends equally from the base of the dorsal to the 

 apex of the jaws, without a depression at the nape, or on the crown. The 

 head and body are equally compressed, the sides are marked with faint streaks 

 more or less apparent in different specimens, but often obscure and merging 

 to grey and yellow. The mouth is horizontal, and the head placed in a line
