chief, lying on and often forming the boundary on the isthmus, 

 belongs as much to the peninsula as to Gujarat proper ; the chief 

 difference between these provinces is geological, and outside of our 

 present subject. 



The next peninsula (one might almost say island), the principality 

 of Cutch, belongs in most way to the region of the plain of the 

 Indus; and must be considered with it. But its internal freshwaters 

 are unimportant. The characteristic hydrographical feature of this 

 part of the country is what we call the Ran, a great hollow separating 

 Cutch from the mainland, which becomes at times a shallow and 

 brackish sea. Whether it has any peculiar fishes we do not know. 

 It might fairly be expected to have some crustaceans of its own, but 

 I have not heard of any, and have no personal acquaintance with 

 that part of it lying north and east of Cutch. The branch called 

 the Little Ran, extending north of Kattywar to the British frontier 

 at Patri and Kharaghora, does not appear to have any fishes, except 

 such as come into it from the surrounding country in flood-time, 

 all freshwater forms. 



It may, however, fairly be hoped that the aquatic fauna of these 

 interesting peninsulas will hereafter be fully described by some 

 member better acquainted with them than I am.
