(I send this list as all the specimens are not lost, and some are among the plants.  Most of the species are, I think, distinct, and when they have appeared to me not to be so, I have generally noted it on the spot.

The mountain forms are very distinct, the mouth being under the snout, or head, the intestines long, peritoneum covered with a black pigment.  These forms commence at Dadur, 800 feet above the sea:  this stream abounds in rapids.

Gurmab is 1,100 feet.  Quettah, 5,600 feet.  Lora river, 3,600 feet.  Urghundab, 3,600 feet.

These lists may be of some small use compared with Burnes’s collection.  To a certain extent they may be useful as showing the preponderance, etc. of certain forms.  You may rely on my distinctions between Cyprinidae, Siluridae, and Percidae.)

“To-morrow I will send the other list of specimens No. 3, which will I hope reach you; of all the fish in these parts, the Sir-i-Chushme and Cabul river Oreinus travels farthest up.  I have caught it at nearly 11,000 feet in the Helmund river.  Then come loaches, and the beautiful trout-like Opsarion; other Cyprinidae ascend 2,000 or 3,000 feet, the Mahaseer scarcely more.  Above that, come the genuine mountain forms.
