about four diameters from end of snout, and three diameters apart. Snout, 
pointed. .Barbels, short, the maxillary pair the longest. Upper lip fim- 
briated. Scales, distinct, with a raised keel along their centre. Lateral 
line, complete. Fins ; dorsal arises slightly in advance of the ventrals, and 
midway between the snout and the base of the caudal fin, its upper margin 
straight. Pectoral reaches two-thirds of the distance to the ventral, and 
the latter above half way to the anal. Caudal deeply emarginate, its lobes 
pointed. Colours, brownish, with a wide dark chestnut band passing from 
the snout through the orbit to the base of the dorsal fin, which last has a 
black centre. Caudal deep brown with white margins. A black bar across 
the base of the ventrals.

Length of head, pectoral and caudal, each 1/7 of the total length. 
Height of body 1/11 of the total length. Eyes, diameter nearly 1/4 of 
length of head. Barbels, well developed, the external rostral pair reaching 
the posterior, and the internal to the anterior margin of the nostrils, to 
beneath which same place the maxillary ones extend. Fins ; dorsal arises 
slightly in advance of the ventrals, and midway between the snout and the 
posterior extremity of the caudal fin ; the caudal slightly lohed at its post- 
erior extremity. Scales, well developed. Lateral line, well marked. Colours, 
light reddish brown, with narrow vertical bands darker than the ground 
colour, and most distinct in the posterior portion of the body, where there 
are sixteen posterior to the commencement of the dorsal fin, and several 
more between that and the head, which last is marked all over with black lines
