518 SURGEON F. DAY ON INDIAN FISHES. [Nov. 11, 
It agrees in appearance with E. ophiocephalus, but has small scales 
on the nape, and otherwise corresponds with Z. cantoris, Gunther, 
excepting that it has a black ocellus at the upper part of the caudal 
fin. The specimen, however, is only 24 inches long; so the ocellus 
may be a mark of its being immature. 
AMBLYOPUS CzCULUS, Bloch.

The typical specimen, 8} inches in length, is in the collection. 
SALARIAS DUSSUMIERI, C. & V. 
Specimens of this species are labelled S. olivaceus, Blyth. Whe- 
ther the latter name should be considered a synonym of S. lineatus, 
C. & V., as stated by Mr. Blyth, or of S. dussumieri, C. & V., as 
shown by the typical specimens, must be doubtful, unless, by some 
accident, the label had been placed on the wrong bottle of specimens, 
as is not improbable.
