to be expected that we slioiild discover no less than three new genera 

 and even a new family. These belong either to the Cyprinidae or to the 

 eels ; it is among the latter that the new family finds a place. Its type 

 is, indeed, perhaps the most primitive form of eel yet known. New 

 species were discovered also in the genera Nemachilvs and BarUivs 

 (Cyprinidae) and Ophiocephalvs (Ophiocephalidae). 



The complete list of the species now known to inhabit the lake, all 

 of which are represented in our collection, is as follows. For conve- 

 nience of reference I have arranged them liere according to the 

 order adopted in Day's volumes in the Fanyia oj British India, but 

 I have departed somewhat from this system in the taxonomic part of 

 the paper.
