Icthyological Gleanings in Madras. 



[No. 39, 



Urano8Copus marmoratus, C. V. 

 UranosGopus guttatus, C. V. 



Uranoscopus inermis, C. V. By some accident I have omitted the 

 native name of these fish, which are by no means rare at Madras, 

 especially the last. 



Minous worra, C. V. Chegopoo toumbi, T. Russ. 160, com- 

 mon. 



Scupaena venosa, C. V. Kul toumbi, T. Ruse. 56, not rare at 

 Madras. 



Platycephalus insidiator, C. V. Ooda-pati, T. Russ. 46, very com- 

 mon in all the estuaries. 



Platycephalus scaber, C. V. Vet-ooda-pati, T. Russ. 47, nearly 

 as common as the last. 



Platycephalus timoriensis, C. V. 6 inches long, of a yellowish 

 red colour unspotted above, whitish below ; spines and rays of the 

 dorsal fins annulated with brown ; pectoral and ventral fins deeply 

 margined with black. 



Platycephalus . With 4 or 5 large bands on the body, 



and 2 on the caudal fin ; 1st dorsal edged with black and with some 

 dusky spots, 2d dorsal with the rays annulated with black ; pectoral 

 and neutral fins, barred with black, called Pe-ooda-pati, T. 



These last two are occasionally met with at Madras.

 ish white beneath, mottled and marbled with brown : dorsal fins 

 brownish with white translucent spots ; anal fin red with small blue 

 spots ; pectoral yellowish, white, dotted with red ; neutral brown 

 with white and blue spots ; 1st dorsal not quite twice the height of 

 the body, D. 4—9, A. 8. 



Callionymus . 1st dorsal fin nearly three times the 



height of the body, body marked with brown, yellowish white and 

 blue, dorsals and caudal Isabella colour, with translucent marks 

 on the 1st dorsal and a black white-edged spot between the 2d and 

 3d dorsal spines at this base, 2d dorsal notched with brown and 

 faint blue marks, caudals with 2 vertical rows of dark anal spots ; 

 anal dark brown with blue spots ; pectoral spotted red, and neu- 

 trals brown with whitish spots, also called Killi min, T. up to 6
