FAUNA OF INDIA

I NTRODUCTlON

Sir Francis Day was a pioneer on Fish Fauna of India. and the author of the famous treaties, the Fishes of India (1875- 1888) followed by two volumes of the Fauna of Sritish India (1889). No specific appraisal is needed on these volumes, for every Ichthyologist, whether an academician, or an applied worker invariably refer to these works fgr the basic identification of these fishes. These volumes have been written with utmost care by the auther and provided with excellent illustrations, Inspite of the extensive systematic research that was carried out in post Day-ean times, still the value of Day's volumes remain equally important. The very fact that the Government of India published the photo offset copies of theDay's Fauna of British India (1963) speaks itself of the immense value and popularity enjoyed by his walks. Unfortunately, in the field of taxonomy due to the refinement of taxonomic techniques, often nomenclatural changes are unavoideble and Dav·s publications are no exception. and there­fore, most. if not all, his scientific names became obsolete and ,are not in vogue in the taxonomist world. Even though Misra (1969, 1976) tried to revise the Fish Fauna of India'. the names incorporated in his volumes (1969, 1976) also became invalid or emended by subsequent workers. Many of the latest publications on fish taxonomy are, however. inaccessible to a generalist, though not to the specialist, and even to the letter building up of an excellent library on all fish groups is not practicable if not impossible save by reknowned institutions like the Zoological Survey of India. Therefore, there is every scope of burdening the ichthyolo­gical literature often by improper names by the generalists, applied scientists and occasionally by the specialists themselves cauling confusion. Recently, Jayaram (1982) brought out his Handbook of the Fresh water Fishes of India, which cover all the common fresh

water fishes, and alsp ~ -~ood number of, estuarina fis~es,. giving keys­

and distributional data. Yet, this accounts only a part' of the Va'IiJ8'ble fish fauna of Ind~a. Inspite of all these later ~tilitarian taxonomic or bio-ecological works, still consultation of Day's Fishes of India and

Fauna of BrHish India volumes is inevitable,.. last without a passing, reference atledst to them any work becomes incomplete.

Revision of D'ay's 'Fauna of British India is, a utopian task and it is.

not possible to do so unless and until the Fund of literature and collections of fishes now distributed in many of the museums, unIver­sities, and other research Institutions in I ndia and abroad, are­available. Therefore, the best course would be to substitute the tatest nomenclature to those fish~~ referred to in Day's works, whic~ will serve as a guide to all consulting Day's works.

With the above aim, a list of the current scienti Ie names of the­Day's fish. fauna was compiled keeping the latest research publica­tions in mind. We'do well realise, that some of the species. referred to by 'Sir Day are infact, composite ,species,. and are now split up,

into many complexes, or species,-groups, a.nd provi.ded with seve-ra I. other names.

We have tried to give all these individual names against such com~osite species 9iroups at the appropriate places, and the generalist

, .

shouJd inYariably be careful in relegating the suitable name to his fish depending o~ ,other mor~hologtca' characters and consulting

later research public~~i9,ns in all such cases; ( tt is hoped, that this list will provide the basic. tool and guide fot,pll ichth.yologists while using Day's trea,\ises,.

I n the text the' seri-at numbe'rgiven rn the first column corresponds to t'De species number in Day's Fauna volu.mes, followed by scientit,ic

name' as given by him in the send column and the upto date valid nam'e in the third orf-Iast column.. Where ever the upto date name is not a.vailable (which are very few), suitable comnlente were made.
