half the diameter of the eye. Colours silvery, becoming lightest and glossed with gold below 
the lateral line. 
1 Jab. The specimen described is stuffed, and 20 , 5 inches in length. It was obtained at 
Tash-kurgan in Sarikol. If this is identical with S. edeniana, M’Clell., it is also found in

Length of head 4§, of caudal 5|, height of body 5 in the total length. Eyes : diameter 
°i in the length of head, diameter from the end of snout, and also apart. Dorsal profile 
ttiore convex than that of the abdomen. Upper surface of the head nearly flat ; its greatest 
width equals its postorbital length, while its height equals its length excluding the snout, 
fi pper jaw rather longer than the lower and overhung by the snout. Mouth: liorseshoe-shaped, 
As gape equalling its cleft. The maxilla reaches to below the hind nostril. Lower labial 
fold interrupted. Barbels : four ; the maxillary ones two-thirds as long as the eye ; the 
rostral ones slightly shorter. Fins : dorsal as high as the body below it ; it commences 
midway between the middle of the eye and the base of the caudal fin ; its last undivided ray 
is strong, rather coarsely serrated, and nearly as long as the head. Pectoral about as long as 
the head excluding the snout, and reaching above half-way to the base of the ventral, which 
fatter fin arises below the last undivided dorsal ray, reaching half-way to the base of the 
anal, which is above twice as high as w r ide at its base, and nearly reaches the caudal when 
laid flat. Scales : depth of those in the tiled row scarcely one-third of the diameter of the 
e ye. Pree portion of the tail not quite so high at its commencement as it is long. Colours : 
silvery, with black spots on the upper half of the body. 
This species has a more elevated dorsal profile and shorter barbels than S. intermedins.

Length of head 4f to 5, of caudal 7j, height of body 65 to 6f in the total length. Eyes : 
diameter from 4J to 5^ in the length of the head, 2 diameters from the end of snout, and 
H apart. The greatest width of the head equals its postorbital length, but is slightly less than 
lts height. Mouth : horseshoe-shaped, with the upper jaw a little the longer, and rather 
f u erhung by the snout ; the maxilla reaches to below the front edge of the eye. Lower labial 
0 d very broad, uninterrupted, and with a cleft in the median line posteriorly. Barbels : 
a pair at the angle of the mouth, which reach the posterior edge of the preopercle ; in a small 
specimen, 3T inches long, they only equal half a diameter of the eye in extent. Teeth ; 
P laryngeal ones in two rows. Fins : the dorsal commences mucli nearer the snout than the 
iase of the caudal, its entire base being equidistant from these two points ; it has no osseous 
1 a J' j and is as high as the body below it. Pectoral as long as the head behind the nostrils, and
