| This is a drawing of C. leucopunctata by Francis Day, taken from his Fishes of India. That is what he says in respect to it: Whether this fish should be considered more than a local variety of O. marulius may be questioned, both are found along the sea coasts of India, and the former also in the Deecan. Dussumier brought it from Malabar, and I found it was not uncommon in Canara, even more so than the O. marulius . In Bengal proper, Burma, and inland districts, except the Deccan, this form, wanting the ocellus on the tail, appears to be absent. |
