in the middle. A horny covering to inside of lower jaw. Barbels: the rostral ones more 
than half longer than the eye, reaching to below its first third; the maxillary ones are 
slightly shorter. Fins: the dorsal as high as the body; it commences midway between the 
nostrils and the base of the candal; its last undivided ray osseous, coarsely serrated poste¬ 
riorly, and its bony portion being as long as the head, excluding the snout. Pectoral does 
not quite reach the ventral, which latter fin commences on a vertical fine slightly behind 
the origin of the dorsal, and extends two-thirds of the distance to the anal. Length of 
base of anal \ of its height; it reaches, when laid flat, to the base of the caudal, which 
latter fin is deeply forked. Tree portion of the tail as high at its base as it is long. 
Colours silvery, with numerous black spots, most distinct in the upper half of the body.

Length of head 4f, of caudal 5 to 6, height of body 6 in the total length. Byes: 
diameter 5| in the length of head, If diameter from the end of snout and also apart. 
Upper surface of the head flat; its greatest width equals its postorbital length, whilst its 
height equals its length excluding the snout. Upper jaw rather longer than the lower, and 
not overhung by the snout. Mouth horseshoe-shaped, the depth of the cleft equalling the 
width of its gape. The maxilla reaches to below the hind nostril. Lower labial fold 
interrupted in the middle. A thin, smooth, deciduous horny covering to the lower jaw. 
Barbels four, as long as the eye in the young, longer in the adult. Teeth: pharyngeal, 5, 3, 
2, 2, 8, 5, pointed and rather crooked at their summits. Fins : dorsal as high as the body 
in the young, not quite so high in the adult; it commences midway between the end of 
the snout or front nostril and base of the caudal; its last undivided ray strong, rather 
coarsely serrated posteriorly, one-half to two-thirds as long as the head in the immature, four- 
fifths of its length in the adult. Pectoral as long as the head excluding the snout, and reach¬ 
ing more than half-way to the base of the ventral, which latter fin arises below the first dorsal 
ray and extends more than half-way to the anal. The length of the base of the anal equals 
half its height, which latter equals the length of the pectoral; if laid flat it almost reaches 
the base of the caudal, which is forked. Scales: depth of those in tiled row equals half a 
diameter of the eye. Pree portion of the tait about as high at its commencement as it is 
ong. Colours silvery, usually without spots; but in some specimens from Yangihissar there 
are minute black spots on the upper half of the body. 
Bab. Kashghar, Yangihissar, and Sarikol. M’Clelland likewise obtained it (through 
Griffith) from Afghanistan, the Cabul Liver at Jellalabad, and Tarnuck Liver. He sent three 
specimens to the East India Museum.
