Here again the principal difference seems to be in 
the head. However, as two of these varieties are 
known to the natives of Assam by different names, 
there is reason to believe that they may really be dis- 
tinct species. 
Dr. Giinther has given Barbus macrocephalus a 
separate place in his Catalogue, but remarks that 
it is at present a very doubtful species. The remainder 
he has placed together under the name of Barbus mosal. 
Dr. Day considers Barbus mosal and putitor a of 
Buchanan, and macrocephalus of McClelland, to be one 
species ; and B. tor , and B. progeneius , he describes 
as a separate species under the name of Barbus lor. 
The difference between these two forms he states to 
consist in the latter having a pointed snout, the lower 
jaw being the shortest ; mouth somewhat deeply cleft, 
lips thick and cartilaginous, with protruding lobes.
