The following sub-divisions though not restricted to the Indian 

 region, are largely represented there, as the following figures will 

 show : — 



Clariina, 12 species. 



SiLURiNA, 72 species. 



Bagrina, 50 species. 



Ariina, 40 species. 



Of carps, there are 190 species belonging to the sub-division 

 Cyprinina, while Danionina and Abramidina (breams), have 

 each 30 species. 



The sub-divisions peculiar to the region are E,asborina (20 

 species), Semiplotina (4 species), Homalopterina (10 species). 

 The Indian region also has 50 species of loaches. These, with a 

 few rare and small sub-divisions make up in all 325 species which 

 are known to exist in the region. This census will be largely 

 increased of course as the country is better explored. 



For comparison with the above list, the following census of fishes 

 found in the river Hue in Ton-kin by Dr. Tirant (Administrator 

 of Native Affairs and Mayor of Cholon) is submitted.
