The wide range of this species, from India to the Indo-Australian Archipelago inchides Burma, the Malay Peninsula, and Thailand. In Thailand it is a coastwise species, never found far from the sea but sometimes in mountain brooks. In the Menam Phya it occurs at least as far upstream as Nontaburi and probably goes farther. In the lower courses of the Tachin and other rivers of Central Thailand it is common, being usually found in drains, ditches, or pools connected with the rivers. The records for the Southeastern area are for a mountain stream on Kao Sabap (July 12,1928), for a brackish pool at Lem Sing (March 16, 1930) and for brackish waters at Krat. In the lowlands of Koh Chang, Koh Samui, and Koh Pa-ngan, large islands in the Gulf of Siam, the fish is common. In addition to Hora's record for the Inland Sea, the present writer has taken the fish in other parts of the Peninsula—in small streams in the town of Nakon Sritamarat and in isolated grassy pools at Singora. The maximum size of this fish is cm. ,~mrr^«''~'K^''?S*:'S^Wff'l'^^'-^x:T:!i'''''^r^n. ~''**6»,i^.
