whose description of that species I have followed closely, italiciz- 

 ing the more important differences. I have examined a large 

 series of specimens. 



/. honihayensis is common at Khas (where it occurs with 

 /. glandiilosus) and Khandalla ; Mr. Kemp found a single speci- 

 men at Castle Rock. It is evidently nocturnal in habits and in 

 the daytime its pupil is often reduced to a very narrow transverse 

 slit. It hides under stones in damp places at the edge of small 

 streams and in cracks in rocks kept wet by the spray of water- 

 falls. 



V. Notes on Freshwater fish mostly from the Satara 

 AND PooNA Districts. 



Fish of the following species were collected in the Yenna at 

 Medha in February and March : — 



Euglyptosternum saisii (Jen- Barbus malabaricus, J erdon. 



kins). Barbies koliis, Sykes. 



Lepidocephaliis they mails (C. Bar bus tic to, Day. 



& V.) Rasbora daniconius (Ham. 

 Nemachilus botia (Ham. Buch.). 



Buch.). Barilius bcndelisis (Ham. 

 Nemachilp.u savona (Ham. Buch.). 



Buch.;. Danio aequipinnatus {McC\.). 



Nemachikis anguilla J sp. now Chela boopis, Day. 



Psilorhynchus tentaculatus, Mastacembelus armatus (I/a- 



sp. nov. cep.). 



Discognathus lamta (Ham. phiocephalus gachua, Ham. 



Buch.), Day. Buch 



Cirrhina reba (Ham. Buch.). Gobius bombayensis , sp. nov. 



About several of these fish, having put on record their 

 occurrence in the head waters of the Kistna, I have nothing fur- 

 ther to say. 



In small hill streamlets at Khandalla I obtained three species 

 of fish -.—Nemachilus evezardi, Day ; Psilorhynchus tentaculatus, 

 sp. nov. and Discognathus nasutus (McCl.). These I have already 

 discussed at some length (pp. 113-117). 



In addition to my own collection I have before me some 

 interesting specimens of Barbus from the Satara district, sent me 

 by Mr. C. D. Mclver of the Public Works Department, a very 

 keen student of the local fish-fauna. To these I shall refer, and 

 with them to an interesting specimen of the same genus recently 

 sent to the Indian Museum from Gauhati on the Brahmaputra by 

 Mr. T. R. Phookun on behalf of the late Chief Commissioner of 

 Assam. 



I shall also discuss the Indian species of the genus Discogna- 

 iJius, so far as the material at my disposal permits me to do so.
