ScalesofthreespeciesofBurbus, A. B. bynnt; B. B. pleurogramma ; C. B. perince.
The structure of the scales varies considerably according to the species. In B. bynni and its allies the exposed surface is striated by numerous longitudinal, scarcely radiating, straight or slightly wavy canals, visible to the naked eye or with the aid of a magnifier of low power +, whilst the centre is more or less finely rugose. In B. fluviatilis and other species with small scales the striations are likewise numerous, but they radiate fan-like from the centre ; whilst in B. perince, and other small species with large scales, they are reduced to from two to five, radiating from the centre, the scales appearing smooth, but for the fine concentric striation (growth-lines) which is present on the scales of all Cyprinids. The three principal types of scales are here figured, as the character has been used in the arrangement of the species. * The last ray is bifid and often cleft to the base, so as to appear as two; even when thus completely divided it is supported by a single bone, and is therefore reckoned as one. + Except in specimens that have had the scales decalcified by preservation in formol.
