Show 1869.] MR. F. DAY ON THE FISHES OF ORISSA. 305 Ganjam and Orissa to the north, every specimen dissected had coecal pylori, as stated by Cuvier. Placing the two varieties together, there does not appear to be any difference apparent externally, except in the coloration. In the Ganjam district one was captured of a deep orange-colour, it appeared to be quite healthy, and the fishermen asserted that this change in Colour is not uncommon. 45. TRICHOGASTER FASCIATUS, Bloch. Kussuah (Ooriah). Ilaib. Common in tanks. 46. OPHIOCEPHALUS MARULIUS, H. Buch. Saal (Ooriah). The coloration of these fish widely differs from the Madras specimens, and the ocellated blotch on the caudal was as distinct in a specimen 16 inches long as in the young. 47. OPHIOCEPHALUS STRIATUS, Bloch. Sola (Ooriah). Hab. Common in tanks and canals. 48. OPHIOCEPHALUS GACHUA, II. Buch. Cheyung (Ooriah). Hab. Found in tanks, canals, and sluggish rivers. 49. OPHIOCEPHALUS PUNCTATUS, Bloch. Cartua gorai (Ooriah). Hab. Found in tanks, canals, and sluggish rivers. 50. RHYNCHOBDELLA ACULEATA, Bloch. Gutti (Ooriah). Hab. Rivers and tanks. 51. MASTACEMBLUS PANCALUS. Turi, Bahru (Ooriah). Hab. Rivers and tanks. 52. MASTACEMBLUS ARMATUS, Lacep. Barm, Bummi (Ooriah). Hab. Rivers and tanks. 53. ETROPLUS SURATENSIS, Bloch. Cundahla (Ooriah).
