iQiQ-l N, Annandale : Bombay Streams Fauna. 125 whose description of that species I have followed closely, italiciz-ing the more important differences. I have examined a large series of specimens. /. honihayensis is common at Khas (where it occurs with /. glandiilosus) and Khandalla ; Mr. Kemp found a single speci-men at Castle Rock. It is evidently nocturnal in habits and in the daytime its pupil is often reduced to a very narrow transverse slit. It hides under stones in damp places at the edge of small streams and in cracks in rocks kept wet by the spray of water-falls. V. Notes on Freshwater fish mostly from the Satara AND PooNA Districts. Fish of the following species were collected in the Yenna at Medha in February and March : — Euglyptosternum saisii (Jen-Barbus malabaricus, J erdon. kins). Barbies koliis, Sykes. Lepidocephaliis they mails (C. Bar bus tic to, Day. & V.) Rasbora daniconius (Ham. Nemachilus botia (Ham. Buch.). Buch.). Barilius bcndelisis (Ham. Nemachilp.u savona (Ham. Buch.). Buch.;. Danio aequipinnatus {McC\.). Nemachikis anguilla J sp. now Chela boopis, Day. Psilorhynchus tentaculatus, Mastacembelus armatus (I/a-sp. nov. cep.). Discognathus lamta (Ham. phiocephalus gachua, Ham. Buch.), Day. Buch Cirrhina reba (Ham. Buch.). Gobius bombayensis , sp. nov. About several of these fish, having put on record their occurrence in the head waters of the Kistna, I have nothing fur-ther to say. In small hill streamlets at Khandalla I obtained three species of fish -.—Nemachilus evezardi, Day ; Psilorhynchus tentaculatus, sp. nov. and Discognathus nasutus (McCl.). These I have already discussed at some length (pp. 113-117). In addition to my own collection I have before me some interesting specimens of Barbus from the Satara district, sent me by Mr. C. D. Mclver of the Public Works Department, a very keen student of the local fish-fauna. To these I shall refer, and with them to an interesting specimen of the same genus recently sent to the Indian Museum from Gauhati on the Brahmaputra by Mr. T. R. Phookun on behalf of the late Chief Commissioner of Assam. I shall also discuss the Indian species of the genus Discogna-iJius, so far as the material at my disposal permits me to do so.
