1. H. chrysoleucus, (Mitch.) Jordan. SHINER. STILBE. 

 BREAM. Body much compressed; abdomen trenchant; 

 head small, about 4 in length; depth 3 (2 to 4); lateral 

 line much decurved; scales small on the back, much 

 larger below; dark steel blue or green above, sides 

 silvery or golden, every where with brilliant reflections, 

 green, yellow, and red; young specimens paler, looking 

 like young Luxili, but the adults are among the largest

 circumstance which has misled many observers, and 

 among them Rafinesque; D. I, 7; A. I, 14.; lat. 1. 45 to 

 50. New England to Minnesota and S.; abundant in 

 bayous, ponds, and weedy streams; this species is much
