I believe that the specimens so named should be reunited with Schilbe mystus.

Chrysichthys Büttikoferi, Steindachner, Notes Leyd. Mus. xvi. p. 60.

This is a species clearly distinct from ''Ch. macrops'', having the adipose fin much shorter and further distant from the dorsal fin. In this respect it agrees with ''Ch. nigrodigitatus'', which, as a rule, has a more contracted snout and narrower mouth. However, I have examined large specimens which it is difficult to refer to either of these two species with certainty. And the difficulty is increased, as I find that there are specimens with eleven and with thirteen anal rays in both the narrow-snouted form (Ch. wigrodigitatus) and the broad-snouted (Ch. Büttikoferi). Possibly more than these two species should be distinguished. Miss Kingsley; found ''Ch. Büttikoferi'' at Kondo-Kondo and in Corisco Island.
