the caladium leaves imparting a very fine flavour to the fish. 



Thev will rise to a rlv or beetle, and some flowers, particularly 

 a larire I ! ih-cas. An voile intending to keep tlie-e fish in stock 

 ponds is advised to keep the pond free from pollution and to feed 

 the fish regularly, it is only in this way that rapid growth and 



and in shape resemble the turbot. 



The Pepuyu or Betok (Anabas scandens) has a world wide 

 reputation as the Climbing Perch. Gunther 1 tells us that in 1797 

 Daldorf in a memoir communicated to the Linnean Society of 

 London mentions that he had himself taken, in 1791, an Anabas 

 in the act of ascending a palm tree (Palmyra) which grew near a 

 pund. The fish had reached the height of :> feet and was going 

 still higher, lie 'goes on to sav that the fish is named in ithe 

 Malavan language the " Tree I limber/' which is a mistake. He 

 should, I think, have said the Malavalam language. See Day 

 (Fishes of India) Undi colli.
