Examining the foregoing genera composing the Carps of India, 

 we find 14 reach the Malay archipelago, 5 Africa, 4 of which are 

 identical with genera extending to the Malay archipelago ; while 

 5 are restricted to the colder regions of the Himalayas, extending 

 to Turkestan. 



I will now follow out the distribution of each species which are 

 included in the foregoing genera.
