GENUS SCHIZOTHOEAX. 
This genus differs from Oreinus in the form of the 
mouth, which is arched instead of being transverse. 
They are found in Cashmere and Afghanistan, one 
or two species come from Nepal. 
Most of the species of this genus are known only 
from the descriptions in Hcckcl’s ‘ Fischc aus Ivascli- 
mir,’ and are difficult to distinguish. I can only 
indicate a few characteristics of each. Specimens 
arc much wanted for the British Museum.
