On 28 July 1957 while collecting fish from a stream passing
through Krishnagiri National Park, Bombay, one of us (E. G. Silao)
cam.e across a tiny eel-like fish 84 mm. in length. Subsequently a
second specimen was obtained just above the main falls at Kanheri
Caves about three miles further up. During the last week of
September and early in October of the same year, it was once again
possible, assisted by a party from the Natural History Section of the
Prince of Wales Museum of Western India, Bombay, to collect
several specimens of similar eel-like fishes from a streamlet passing
through Robbers' Cave, Mahableshwar, Satara District, and one
specimen from an adjacent strearn at Mahableshwar
