450 INDIAN CYPRINID^. 



It remains to express my obligations to those who have assisted the 

 object of the foregoing paper. 



To William Griffith, Esq., M. A. S. &c. Madras Medical Service, who 

 aided me in my collections since 1835, and is still mindful of this though 

 engaged in other services of higher interest to science, I have been indebted 

 for many species hitherto unknown from countries only visited by himself, 

 and which were preserved under difficulties and privations that would have 

 deterred an ordinary naturalist from the attempt, especially in the midst of 

 other occupations. 



To B. H. Hodgson, Esq. M. A. S. kc. Resident at Nipal, I have been 

 indebted for a small collection of Cyprins deposited in the Asiatic Society ; 

 and to W. M. Westermann, Junior, Esq.— a name not unknown to 

 science in connection with one of the richest cabinets of insects in Europe, 

 am I indebted for the drawings of scales forming the last two plates. 



To Doctor Macleod, Inspector-General of Her Majesty's Hospitals in 

 Bengal, I have been indebted for several collections from different parts of 

 India, comprising many species previously unknown. 



To Capt. Simon Eraser Hannay, I am indebted for several species 

 from Assam, some of which had escaped me during my visit to that pro- 

 vince, as well as for others which were lost from my own collections from 

 the difficulty of preserving them in this climate. 



I am also indebted to Captain Francis Jenkins, M. A. S. &c. Com- 

 missioner of Assam, for similar favours, as well as for other facilities afforded 

 to my pursuits. 



To Captain Richard Lloyd, M. A. S. Indian Navy, who had already 

 rendered a high service to ichthyology by the facilities afforded to Dr. Cantor 

 while under his command, I am indebted for several small collections of fishes 

 from the Tenasserim coast. 



To R. B. Cumberland, Esq. Bengal Medical Service, I am also indebted 

 for a small collection of fishes from the Cuttack district : and, lastly —
