Throughout Southern Asia, including the Punjab, and both plains and
peninsula of India properly so called, no species exists of the trout
family or Salmonidae. Their discovery in the streams descending from the
northern declivity of the Hindoo-koosh distinguishes that chain as the
southern boundary or limit of the family. It is also remarkable that the
Hindoo-koosh should likewise be the exclusive province of a numerous
group of small scaled Cyprinidae, met with only in the rivers of
Affghanistan, consisting of the genera, Schizothorax, Racoma, and
Oreinus, of which one or two species only have been found to extend south
along the plateau of the Himalaya, as far as 27 degrees N., while the
bulk of the family is confined to 34 degrees N. See Calcutta Journ. Nat.
Hist. Vol. II. p.560 t. xv.
