4. labiatus, M'Clell. I. c. p. 578, tab. 15. fig. 1, is described thus: — 



" The length of the head greater than the height of the body, and equal 

 to a fourth of the entire length. Intermaxillary very protractile, and 

 covered with a thick adipose integument ; a thick trilobed integument 

 to the lower j§,w ; cirri terminating in trident points. — Pushut, Koonar 

 River near JiJlalabad." 



5. brevis, M'Clell. I. c. — Helmund River. 



6. Schizothorax edeniana, M'Clell. I. c. p. 579, is described thus : — " Reflected 



posterior margin of the lower lip entire, lips thick, round, and soft ; 

 snout depressed; dorsal spine slender, soft, but harder at the base, 

 where it is slightly serrated ; lower jaw broad at the base, but narrower 

 at the apex. Scales rather above the ordinary size. — Cabul River." 

 Opistocheilus(??)proprius, Bleeker, Proclr. Cypr. p. 115. — This is proposed 

 to be the systematic name of Schizothorax proprius, M'Clell. ! How- 

 ever, M'Clelland never described a fish under such a name, but distin- 

 guished a subgenus " Schizotliorax proprius, M'Clell.," from Heckel's 

 genus Schizothorax. — Calc. Journ. Nat. Hist. ii. p. 573.
