the remaining two were netted by him at Singgora. Leiognathus equulus is found in 
the Red Sea, the seas of India, the Malay Archipelago, China and the Philippines. 
Unfortunately this species has been recorded under two different names in two 
separate parts of the report on the fish of the Chilka Lake {Mem. Ind. Mus. v, pp. 
730, 761)- 
Gazza minuta (Bloch.).

There are three full-grown specimens and several young ones in Dr. Annandale's 
collection from the Tale Sap. Of the former three, two were netted at Singgora and 
the third at the mouth of the Patalung river. The young ones were obtained at 
several places in the outer lake.

There are three 3^oung specimens of this .species in the collection. They were 
obtained during shore collecting at Koh Yaw and its immediate neighbourhood. 
' Jordan in recognising Leioguathidae as a separate family observes that '• the resemblance of Leiognathus to Gerres 
seems to be superficial, not indicating any special affinity." See his ClassificcUion nf Fishes, p. i.S(i (California: 192^).
