Et is remarkable that I am unable to find a single Acantho- 

 pterygian freshwater fish restricted to Africa and India : there are 

 two found in both regions ; but they also extend to the Malay 

 archipelago. 



Although out of the foregoing 45 species only 2 are residents 

 of Africa, we find 9 of them in the Malay archipelago which are 

 also in India proper, and 2 coexistent in Burma and the Malay 

 archipelago. Another species is common to Ceylon and Java. 

 Or they may be thus divided : —
