Color in alcohol dull brownish, back darker and color of upper surface rather abruptly distinct from that of lower surface. Back and upper surface more or less distinctly spotted with darker everywhere, though spots more pronounced pos- teriorly, or above anal and on caudal peduncle. Spots on back and sides often arranged as 2 longitudinal dark lines. Dorsal pale brown, with about 4 horizontal bands of spots. Caudal with about 10 transverse vertical dusky spots and black blotch at base above nearly large as eye. Anal pale, also with few dusky spots. Length 66 to 206 mm. Eighty examples from Hsing Lung Shan and two from twenty-six miles south of Hsing Lung Shan, latter August 12, 192L Besides these I have also included three from Tan Ian Ho, in the Academy. The color is variable, though always with a black spot at the bases of the upper caudal rays. Head and trunk always with scattered spots, specks or dots, variously close-set or more or less scattered. Sometimes onh' large scattered blotches to several times size of eye present, or larger blotches may occur only above lateral line. None show so great development of a:dipose-like rudimentary caudal rays as in the next species. Misgurnus decemcirrosus (Basilewsky) Figure 3 Head contained 5 to 5% times in length to base of caudal; depth 6 to 6/8. Dorsal ii, 7, i, sometimes 8, i; anal ii, 6, i, sometimes 5, i. Scales 95 to 127 in lateral line to caudal base. Snout 2/2 to 2/5 in head; eye 5 to 7)4; maxillary 4 to 4)
