Length of head 4§ to 5, of caudal 7, height of body 7 in the total length. Byes: dia¬ 
meter 5 in length of head, 2 diameters from end of snout, and l\ apart. Snout somewhat 
pointed; and in some the preorbital is slightly projecting. Lips wrinkled; the lower labial 
fold interrupted. The greatest width of the head equals its height or its length excluding 
the snout. Barbels : the maxillary ones reach to below the hind edge of the eye; the ros¬ 
tral ones are nearly as long, Fins : dorsal commences midway between the end of the snout 
and the base of the caudal; its upper edge is nearly straight, oblique, and with rounded angles; 
its height rather exceeds that of the body below it; and it is nearly twice as high as its base 
is long. Pectoral as long as the head excluding the snout, and extending half-way to the 
ventral. Ventral one-third shorter than the pectoral, and reaching half-way to the anal- 
Anal twice as high as long at its base. Caudal cut square, with rounded angles or slightly 
emarginate. Pree portion of the tail from one-and-a-half to twice as long as high at its base.

24. Nemacheilus rupicola. 
Schistura rupicola, McClelland. Journ. A. Soe. Bengal, vii., pi. Iv, fig. 3, and Ind. Cypr., p. 309, 
pi. lvii., f. 3. 
The Kashmir species are almost or quite destitute of scales, and otherwise agree with 
M’Clelland’s fish. 
25. Nemacheilus microps. 1 
Colitis microps, Steindackner, Verb., z.-b. Ges. Wien., 1866, p. 794, t. xiii., f. 3. 
Nemacheilus microps, Gunther, Cat. vii,, p. 357. 
This species is entirely destitute of scales. The head is as wide as it is long. It was 
obtained by Dr. Stoliczka in Tibet on his first journey, hut no specimens exist amongst the 
Yarkand collection. 
1 Or das Dabryi , Sauvage, Rev. et Mag. Zool., 1874, p. 3, is closely allied to this species.
