INDIAN FRESII-WATER FISHES. 
4. Osteobrama ogilbii. 
Hab. India generally. 
Char. Anal rays 15 or 16. Scales 50 to 55. Barbels 
none. 
Depth contained 2^ times, head 4 times, in the 
total. 
Dorsal ray deeply serrated. The upper jaw pro- 
jects in advance of the lower. Lateral line slightly 
bent downwards. 
An indistinct blotch on the root of the caudal fin. 
5. Osteobrama microlepis. 
Hab. River Godavery. 15 inches. 
Char. Anal rays 21. Scales 72. Barbels none. 
Depth contained times, head 4 times, in the total. 
Dorsal ray strong and serrated. 
Upper jaw projects beyond the lower. A dark 
streak from the shoulder to the pectoral fin. Body 
partially banded, especially in the young. 
Dr. Day suggests that the fish described by Va- 
lenciennes as Lennsius belangeri, and in the British 
Museum Catalogue as Similiogaster belangerii, may 
be this species. Should this be the fact, the name of 
the fish would, I conclude, be properly Osteobrama 
belangerii, and not microlepis. 
6. Osteobrama neilli. 
Hab. Rivers of the Neilghcrrios. 
Char. Barbels four, nearly as long as the eye. 
Anal rays 21. Scales 59.
