Only one young specimen, 40 mm. in length, is in the collection. It was caught 

 on i6-ix-i4 in the north-east portion of the lake about eight miles south-east of 

 Kalupara Ghat, at a point where the depth of the water was eight feet. This 

 specimen was mixed up with other young mullets and its presence was detected only 

 on a minute examination of the specimens. It is remarkable that this species 

 should be represented only by one very young specimen. Probably it entered the 

 lake along with flood-water from the rivers during July, which, judging from the size
