Scales 22 to 24 in lateral line to caudal base and 2 or 3 more on latter; 5 above, 3 below, 7 or 8 predorsal, 12 around caudal peduncle. Scales with 12 to 16 apical and 6 or 7 basal radiating striae; circuli finely concentric, imperfect apically, D.

FiGUEB 24.—Puntius cataractae (Fowler) : Type ( No. 93137). 114 in head; A. iii, 5, i, first branched ray 1% to 1%; least depth of caudal peduncle 1% to 1%; pectoral ll^ to 1%; ventral li^ to 1%; caudal 2% to 2% in rest of body, well forked, rather broad lobes pointed. Back brown, lower sides and under surfaces whitish. Each scale on upper surface of body margined with deep brown. Iris whitish. Base of caudal with obscure gray or light neutral blotch, smaller than eye. Dorsal, caudal, and pectoral pale brownish. Ventral and anal with pale yellowish tint. Apparently related to Barbus clemensi Herre, its 8 predorsal scales in agreement. It differs in that some examples show 2 or 3 very indistinct or subdued dusky axial blotches, of which last most dis- tinct and possibly due to or rendered visible by long preservation in alcohol. In the type only the last blotch evident. Fins evidently yellow, as still golden in Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have be
