4. Danio aurolineatus, ( malabaricus , Giintli). 
Hap. South Malabar. 3 inches. 
Char. Dorsal 14. Anal 18. Scales 34 to 40. 
Barbels two only, half as long as the eye. 
Sides with three or four narrow steel blue streaks, 
the end of the tail, and the middle of the caudal fin 
with a broad bluish band. 
5. Danio neilgherriensis. 
H.ab. Neilgherry Hills. 3-^ inches. 
Char. Dorsal 12 or 13. Anal 13 or 14. Scales 35. 
Barbels 2 only, very small, sometimes a rudimentary 
lower pair are apparent. A badly marked, broad, 
steel-blue stripe, extending from behind the eye to the 
middle of the caudal fin, edged with yellow above and 
below. 
A species very similar to this last one is common in 
the hill streams at Cherra-poonjee in the Khasia Hills. 
I should not be surprised if it turned out identical 
with McClelland’s Perilampus aquipinnatus. The fish 
which Dr. Day has identified under this name appears 
to differ from McClelland’s in possessing a well 
developed rostral pair of barbels, which McClelland 
does not mention, neither are they shown in the figure. 
The species I refer to from the Khasia Hills has 
no barbels, or if present they must be excessively 
minute. It has several blue and yellow streaks along 
the sides.
