Family Siluridae. 

 Euglyptostcrnum saisii (Jenkins). 



1910. Glyptostet')iu»i saisii, Jenkins, Rec. Ind. Mus. V, p. 128, pi. vi, 

 fig. 6. 



A specimen from the Yenna (Vena) River at Medha in the 

 Satara district agrees well with the type-specimens from Pares- 

 nath in Bihar except in being much larger ; its total length is 

 121 mm. 



In general facies the species resemble Euglyptosternum rather 

 than Glyptosternum and I find that both in Dr. Jenkin's specimens 

 and in my own microscopic horny teeth are scattered on the palate. 

 They are, however, attached to skin and not to the bone and are 

 not arranged in any definite manner. The tooth-band on the 

 upper jaw is narrow as in Glyptosternum. I have examined the 

 palate of E. lineatum and of several species of Glyptosternum and 

 cannot discover any trace of scattered teeth. 



Family Cyprinidae. 

 Lepidoccphalus thcrmalis (C. and V.). 



1889. Lepidocephalicththys thermalis, Day, Faun. Brit. Ind., Fishes, 

 I, p. 221. 



Weber' has shown that the clumsy generic name by which 

 this fish and its congeners were known to Day may be abbreviated 

 to Lepidocephalus. 



L. thermalis is characteristic of Peninsular India and Ceylon 

 as distinct from the Indo-Gangetic river-systems. It is not un- 

 common in the Yenna River,

Hitherto known from a single specimen (now in the Indian 

 Museum) from a stream near Poona, this little loach is actually 

 one of the commonest species in small streamlets in the Bombay 

 Ghats. I obtained numerous specimens at Khandalla in the 

 Poona district and my assistant Mr. J. W. Gaunter collected 

 others at Khas in the Satara district, while Mr. E. A. D'Abreu of 

 the Nagpur Museum has recently sent me one from Pachmhari 

 in the Central Provinces, AJl these places lie between 2,000 and 

 4,500 feet above sea level. 



The species is stated by Day to differ from all other Indian 

 species of its genus in possessing a pair of nasal barbels. These
