FISH. 
A small collection of fish from a little stream (Sita Nullah) 
on the north face of 'Parésnath has been described by Dr. Jenkins. 
in Rec. Ind. Mus., v (1910), p. 128. Only five species were ob- 
tained, viz., Glyptosternum saisit,* Nemachilus savona, Discogna- 
thus lamta, Damo dangila, Ophtocephalus gachua. Two of these 
species (O. gachua and D. lamta) have a wide distribution in India 
and even beyond its borders, while two (D. dangila and N. savona) 
arecommon in rocky streams throughout Western Bengal. G. saisit 
has only been found as yet on Parésnath. It belongs to a genus 
found in the mountains of both northern and southern India, and 
is allied to G. pectinopterum,a species common in the Himalayas 
from Kangra to Darjiling and also in the hills of the Punjab. 
REPTILES and BATRACHIA. 
The only frog obtained was Rana limnocharis, Wiegm., of 
which several small specimens were taken at the edge of a spring 
situated on the north face of the hill at an altitude of about 4,000 
feet. This species is abundant all over the plains of India and 
ascends the Himalayas to an altitude of between 5,000 and 6,000 
feet: 
The following lizards were collected by Dr. Jenkins and 
myself or subsequently sent to the Indian Museum from Parés- 
nath by Dr. Walter Saise :— 
Hemidactylus brookiw, Gray.

(1898). 
Several specimens were taken on the walls of a bungalow 
situated at 4,500 feet. This lizard is common all over the plains
