/ On the Fresh Water 



[No. 35, 



I cannot of course be certain that my fish is the same as the one 

 figured in Gray and Hardwicke's Illustrations, said to be from the 

 mountains of India, but which McLelland does not appear to have 

 met with. Should the fish figured by Gray be from the North of 

 India, mine is probably distinct, but it is possible that Buchanan 

 may have obtained it, and had a drawing taken, from the same loca- 

 lity as I did, whence Mr. Gray might have obtained bis copy. The 

 only point of difference of any note is the fleshy pendulous point said 

 to exist at each corner of the mouth, which I do not observe in 

 mine, and which may be an exaggerated defect of the original 

 drawing. My fish was obtained in the Bhowany river, at the foot of 

 the Neilgherries, and also in the Manantoddy river, both tributaries 

 of the Cavery. It is only fouad where the bed of the river is stony, 

 and keeps always close to the bottom, living apparently on the vege- 

 table matter adhering to the stones. This and the other species are 

 called Kul korave by the Telingas. 



Gonorliynckus McLellandi. (New Species.) 



Snout covered with numerous pores ; profile rising to the dor> 

 sal, slightly concave from that to the tail, — head is to the whole 

 body as 1 to 4|-, height is 3f in its total length ; 2 longish 

 cirri, head depressed in front, dorsal fin rather high. D. 10, A. 7, 

 &:c. — colour dusky green above, golden on sides, and greenish white 

 beneath ; caudal fin green in the centre, reddish above and belows 

 other fins yellow, edged with red ; cheeks golden, 56 scales along 

 the body in 9 rows. Length 10 inches. 



Found in the same localities as the last. 



GonorTi, stenorliynclius . (New Species.) 



Muzzle more acute than in the last, ending in a blunt rounded 

 projection studded with large and prominent mucous pores ; 4 long- 

 ish cirri; head is to the whole body as 1 to 4^, height is 4 times in 

 the length ; 34 scales along the body in 7 rows; D. 10, A. 9, &c. 

 About 10 inches long. Colours much as in the last. 



I have only found this well marked species in the Bhowany river 

 at the foot of the Neilgherry hills. 



I have got some small specimen of a species of this group from 

 the streams of Malabar, which I cannot at present separate from Q.
