29. Barbus lepidus. 
This fish is almost exactly similar to Barbus fila- 
mentosus, the only exception being that the latter 
has no barbels. Dr. Day considers them as distinct 
species, and I have therefore shown them as such. 
Hab. Western coast, and base of Neilgherries, 
also Ceylon. 6 inches. 
Char. Scales 21. 
Colour silvery white, with a deep black oval mark 
on the lateral line from about the 14th to the 18th 
scales. Caudal fin red, tipped with black. The 
branched rays of the dorsal fin are elongated in the 
adult fish. 
30. Barbus parrah. 
Hab. Malabar, Mysore, and Madras. 6 inches. 
Char. Scales 25. 
A dark bluish line along the side. Pectoral, ven- 
tral, and anal fins tinged with yellow. Dorsal and 
caudal fins dusky. A diffused black spot on the 
lateral line, from the 20th to the 22nd scale. 
31. Barbus titius. 
Hab. Bengal and Northern India. 5 inches. 
Char. Scales 25. 
A round black spot on the lateral line, behind the 
gill openings, and a second midway between the end 
of the anal and the base of the caudal fins. Dorsal 
and anal fins tipped with black, sometimes the upper 
half of the former stained darkish.
