Characters of the Genus Barbus.—"Scales of small, moderate, or large size. Dorsal fin generally with the (third) longest simple ray ossified, enlarged and frequently serrated; never, or only e-xceptionall}', with more than nine branched rays, commencing opposite, or nearly opposite the root of the ventral. Eyes without adipose eyelid. Anal fin very short, but frequently very high. Mouth arched, without inner folds, inferior or anterior; lips without horny covering. Barbels short, four, two, or none. Lateral line running in, or nearly in the middle of the side of the tail. Anal scales not enlarged. Pharyngeal teeth or or 2—2 or or Snout but rarely with tubercles or pore-like grooves. Temperate or tropical parts of the Old ;—Gunther. rriHE Barbel is mentioned once only, I believe, in classical authors; in the writings of the ± ancient Greeks there is no mention of this fish, and Ausonius of the Latins is the only author who notices the Barbel, under the appropriate name of Barbus, in allusion to the four.
