[This Viper, called Duslia, was common from Quetta along our whole route to Khusan, 

 specimens being daily brought to me by the camp-followers ; except one specimen, I 

 never came across it in the Badghis. The natives say that it is common near their 

 dwellings.— J. E. T. A.]

[At Puza-gish I found the Erogs suffering from Leeches attached to them ; this Leech, 

 Mr. Jeffrey Bell tells me, is the common one of our owu lakes, Aiilosfomnm gido 

 {A. m(jrescens), and that the presence of this species in Lake Baikhal has been already 

 signalized by Grube (Sitzungsb. Schles. Gesell. slix. p. 55), but he does not know that 

 it has ever been reported to attach itself to Erogs. 



The above localities extend the area of this species of Bufo from Northern Baluchistan 

 to the valley of the Hari-rud, Badghis, and Khorasan. — J. E. T. A.]
