18 SECOND YADKAND MISSION. 
If we examine the localities whence the fishes which form this collection were procured, 
omitting the Murree and Kashmir examples, we find as follows:—

Thus, we have eight species from the head-waters of the Indus, two of which extend 
to the great easterly, or Yarkand, Diver of Eastern Turkestan, and one to the Oxus of 
Western Turkestan; nine species from the Yarkand Diver, two common to the Indus and 
three to the Oxus; and four species from the Oxus, three of which are also found in the 
Yarkand Diver, and one in the head waters of the Indus. 
If these species are examined in accordance with the districts traversed by this Mission 
and mapped out by Mr. Hume, we obtain the following results :—• 
(1st ).—Erom the hilly region between Murree and the Zoji-la Pass, there exists one species 
of Schizothorax showing an affinity to the Turkestan fauna: one Or emus, a 
Himalayan genus: and two species of Nemacheilus, a genus common to 
Turkestan and Hindustan. 
(2nd). —Erom Zoji-la to the head of the Pankong there are;—one Siluroid, Exostoma, 
evidently a Himalayan and hilly form. Of carps, the Himalayan Oreinus and 
four genera which may he considered as common to Turkestan, and mostly to 
the upper hilly regions, viz., Schizothorax, Schizopyg apsis, Ptycobarbus and 
Diptychus,: lastly, a Nemacheilus, an almost universally distributed genus. 
(3rd). —Erom the plains of Yarkand, two species of Schizothorax and two of Ptyco-> 
barbus, evidently the most typical forms of the fishes in these elevated regions ; 
the genus Nemacheilus is likewise represented,
