Abstract
DR. SUNDER LAL HORA, of the Zoological Survey of India, has for many years devoted special attention to the study of the fauna of rapidly running waters in the hill streams of India. His knowledge of this difficult and interesting branch of zoology is unrivalled. No one, therefore, could be better qualified than he to undertake a detailed investigation of that remarkable group of cyprinoid fishes, the Homalopteridæ. These fishes, inhabitants of swiftly running mountain streams of southern Asia, have undergone a great variety of adaptive modifications induced by the peculiar environmental conditions typical of their habitat.
