374 MR. H. ADAMS ON PERUVIAN SHELLS. [May 26, fourth of the height of the third suborbital bone is left uncovered. My reason for supposing this fish may be Opsarius malaharicus, Jerdon, is that I found it very numerous, as Jerdon remarks, in "the streams that run from the Western Ghauts into North Malabar," and that it was the only species of the genus which 1 could find there, whilst the difference is that the 0. malaharicus is said to have four-teen dorsal rays. If they are not the same, Jerdon has entirely over-looked this common species, which I think is very improbable; con-sequently D. 14 I believe to be a misprint for D. 10. Barilius canarensis. Opsarius canarensis, Jerdon. B.iii. D, 2/10. P. 15. V. 9. A. 2/13. C. 21. L.1.38. L. tr. 9/4. Length of head f, of caudal |, height of body \ of the total length. Eyes. Diameter j of length of head, more than one diameter from end of snout. This species is very similar to the B. gatensis, C. & V., differing, however, in a few points : there are a smaller number of rays in the dorsal fin ; the inferior lobe of the caudal is the longest ; the lower jaw is less broad ; and the dorsal commences midway between the snout and the base of the caudal. Scales. Two and a half rows between the lateral line and the base of the ventral fins. Colours. Greenish above with purple reflections, golden on the sides and beneath ; a double row of large green spots along the sides as far as the base of the anal, when they become single ; dorsal, caudal, and anal dark grey, with broad white margins. Ilab. Mangalore. Danio malabaricos, Perilampus malaharicus, Jerdon (male). Perilampus canarensis, Jerdon (female). Are identical with Danio micronema, Bleeker. I obtained numerous specimens in the localities where Dr. Jerdon records having collected his. Danio alburnus, Ileckel, is probably the same, the barbels having been overlooked. 4.
