Kiiown from a single specimen, 6 cm. long, from the Menam Mun at Ta Chang, in Korat Province, this fish is easily recognizable by the absence of barbels, the insertion of the dorsal fin almost wholly in advance of the anal, and the presence of two black vertical bars on the side, one over the pectoral, one under the Figure 24.—Barilius koraUnsis H.

Described from a specimen, 11 cm. long, collected in the Menam Chao Phya by Dr. Harmand, this species does not appear to have been met with again. The description is imperfect, and a number of fea- tures of diagnostic value are not referred to. There are no barbels, the body is comparatively deep (3 in length), the maxillary extends to a line drawn vertically from the pupil, the scales in the lateral line number 45, the origin of the dorsal fin is midway between the pupil and the base of the caudal, the origin of the anal fin is opposite the termination of the dorsal base, and the body is marked with 12 trans- verse steel-blue bands.
