Several other pairs of "species" may be suggested as being probably synonymous, mentalis, a synonym of Jcimberleyensis* sector and dwaarsensis of brucii (this has line precedence over sector), and mfongosi of elephantis. It is a little curious that specific importance should be attached to the lip development. Day (Fishes, India, 1878-1888, p. 564, pi. 136, fig. 5, and pi. 140, fig. 1) described and figured both the thin-lipped and thick-lipped forms of Barbus tor (the Mahseer), and evidently assumed without question that they were one and the same * Perhaps both these are synonyms of gilchristi; the latter based on a single specimen, collected together with a typical example of holubi.
