CYPRINIDf. 176 The branchial rays are three in namber, the dorsal fin-rays twelve, the pectorals twelve, the ventrals seven, the anal twenty-seven, and the caudal nineteen. A little fish, closely resembling this in form, is described and figured in Dr. Richardson's Northern Zoology, on the authority of Lieut. Col. Smith, who took it at the confluence of the Richelieu and St. Lawrence. It is known to the Canadians as la Quesche. In form, it closely resembles this species; and in color, the last described; but it has one spiny ray in the dorsal, and one in the anal fin, and a toothed tongue, which would seem to divide it from the genus Abra- mis; while the size of the anal divides it from the true Carps. It has, moreover, small scales, and barbels. -â >:""^^'r {:.
