C/iondroxtorna miegii, Steindachner, Sitzgsber. Ak, "Wiss. Wien, 

 1866, liii. p. 202, and liv. tab. 3, from Spain, requires further com- 

 parison with Ch. Icnerii before it can be admitted as a distinct 

 species ; it appears to have shorter pectoral fins. The author says 

 that it has the cleft of the mouth semicircular, representing it trans- 

 versely straight in the figure. 



Dr. Steindachner mentions (ibid,) a fish regarded by him as a 

 hyhrkl between Ch. miegii and Ben-bus grcellsii ; see a note on this 

 point, on Barbus bocagii, p, 92.
