Fam. OSPHROMENIDAK. 

 Osphromcnus nobilis (McClell.). 



Dibrugarh. 



Every specimen has a black light- edged ocellus on the upper 

 part of the base of the caudal fin. The superbranchial respiratory- 

 organ is well developed. 



The Assam streams appear to be a favourable habitat for the 

 genus, and 0. olfax (Com.) would be likely to prove more successful 

 in them than in Southern India, where several attempts have been 

 made to acclimatize that species. The indigenous Indian species 

 of the genus is confined to Assam- 



Trichogaster fasciatus, Bl. Sch.
