Length of head 1/4, of caudal 2/9, height of body 2/7, of dorsal 1/6 of 
the total length. — Byes : diameter about 1/4 of length of head, 1 diameter 
from end of snout, 1} diameters apart. Mouth compressed, lower jaw the 
longer, the posterior extremity of the maxilla extends to nearly below the 
centre of the orbit. Some pores exist along the margin of the lower lip, on 
the snout, and on the anterior edge of the preorbital. No barbels. — Teeth ; 
pharyngeal, curved and pointed, 5, 4, 2/2, 4, 5. — Fins : dorsal commences 
nearly midway between the end of the snout and the base of the caudal, 
extending to above the fourth anal ray ; caudal forked, lower lobe very 
slightly longer. — Lateral line : 2 rows of scales between it and base of the 
ventral fin.- — Colours : greyish becoming white on the abdomen. A row of

Length of head 2/9, of caudal 2/9, height of body 1/4 of the total 
length. — Byes : diameter 1/4 of length of head, more than 1 diameter from 
end of snout. This species is veiy similar to the B. gatensis, C. and V., differ- 
ing however in a few points : less rays in the dorsal fin, the lower caudal 
lobe decidedly the longer ; the dorsal fin commences midway between the 
snout and the base of the caudal ; the lower jaw the wider, the maxillary 
extends to below the anterior margin of the orbit. No barbels. — Lateral 
line : 2j rows between it and the base of the ventral fin. — Colours : greenish 
above, golden on the sides, a double row of large green spots along the body 
as far as to above the base of the anal fin where they become confluent. 
Fins grey, with broad white margins. 
Hub . — Canara on the Western coast ; attaining 6 inches in length.
