i" be found in the estuaries to nearly the aourcea of the rivers 

 of [ndia and Burmah. 



In Southern [ndia I haw not come across either of these 

 two last fish, but t li.it is only negative evidence, and though 



attu, is much more common in the South, Dr. Day 

 informs us that the other two are also to be found there. 



There are smaller Siluroids of many sorts, notably the genus 

 tJvrout, that abound in rivers and tanks, and can be taken 

 with a float and worm. They run ordinarily under a pound, and 

 are only tit for small boys and gluttons at fishing.

The A" | Assamese name) mentioned by Mr. J. E. Welborne, 

 of Assam, as running within his observation to 60 lbs., and his 

 hearsay to 100 lbs., and the Poongah (Assamese), seen weighing 

 about 20 lbs., and both to be caught with live bait in the still 

 deep waters of the Assam rivers, are evidently Siluroids, and, 

 perhaps, the very ones above spoken of. 



Mi Welborne's plan is in pools of 30 feet deep, if possible, 

 using for preference a \ lb. live bait, and even up to £ lb., 

 with one treble hook beneath the back fin, and one haneins 

 free below the stomach, and an ounce sinker 2 feet from the 

 bait and 3 feet from the bottom, to hang the bine, taut from tin- 

 rod top, over the side, and let the boat be carried down the 

 gentle stream from the head to the tail of the pool ; which done, 

 you may work up the edge of the pool and repeat the operation. 

 He has also killed with the spoon. He thought the afternoon 

 fishing the best. ("Asian," 22 July, and 2 September, 1879).
