strongly defined from tlie silvery sides ; caudal edged with dark ; the other 
fins yellow. 
Hah. — The Ravi river at Lahore, where it attains four inches in length 
and is not uncommon, 
This fish differs in coloration from McClelland’s, which, he observes, has 
nine incomplete bars on the sides. The reason of this may be, that his speci- 
mens were obtained from the Ivhyber pass and Kabul river, where coloration 
is probably more vivid ; as, however, the species possesses a pair of minute 
maxillary barbels, McClelland’s name, (provided both are identical), is a mis- 
nomer.

Length of head 1/5, of caudal, 1/6, height of dorsal 1/7, of body 1/5 
of the total length. — Eyes : diameter 1/3 of length of head, 3/4 of a diame- 
ter from end of snout. Lower jaw slightly the longer, having pores on its 
lower surface, but none on the snout ; the posterior extremity of the maxilla 
extends to beneath the middle of the orbit. Third suborbital hone not 
quite half as wide as the uncovered portion of the cheek below it. Humeral 
process small. Four long barbels, the rostral extending to below the pos- 
terior third of the orbit, the maxillary to about the same place. Fins : 
dorsal rather higher than its base is long, but not so high as the body below 
it, commencing midway between the snout and middle of the length of the 
caudal fin, its last one or two rays being over the anal ; the lower caudal 
lobe slightly the longer. Pectoral as long as the head without the snout, and 
extending three-fourths of the distance to the ventral which does not reach 
the anal. — Scales : with several raised lines on each ; two and a half rows 
between the lateral line and base of the ventral fin.— Colours : silvery, be- 
coming white beneath, and having a purplish tinge along the back ; seven 
short vertical blue bars along the middle of the side. Fins orange ; caudal 
stained on its outer edge. 
Hah. — A river at Gangrete, which joins the Beeas in the Sub-IIima- 
layan range. It is a small species and out of six specimens obtained the 
largest was only three inches in length, and was said to he adult ; it was full 
of ova.
