slightly protrudes. Scales all broadly exposed, crowded along 

 dark median predorsal line. Lateral line incomplete, though 

 reaches caudal peduncle. Dorsal inserted slightly behind ventral 

 origin. Back pale olive, scale edges dusted dusky. Underlaid 

 leaden band from eye to caudal base, more intensified blackish 

 dots along caudal peduncle side and at caudal base, though not 

 forming well-defined black caudal spot. Lower parts and iris 

 silvery- white. Fins pale. Length 45 mm. 



No previous notice of the occurence of this species east of the 



Alleghenies has been given. 



Notropis photogenis amoenus (Abbott). Very common. Several 

 males with snout and dorsal fins orange-red. 



Hybopsis kentuckiensis (Rafinesque). Common, though all small. 



North Carolina. 



The fishes examined from this State were all obtained by Mr. 

 Dunn in 1917, in a small tributary of the French Broad River 

 near Brevard, Transylvania County, with the exception of one 

 species from Linville. 



Campostoma anomalum (Rafinesque). Abundant. Largest 128 

 mm. One abnormal, with hunched back. 



Notropis spectrunculus (Cope). Eleven examples 50 to 70 mm. 

 The black spot at the caudal base is triangular in shape. Dr. 

 H. M. Smith says it is "exceedingly abundant in the upper waters 

 of the Swannanoa, but is scarce in other tributaries of the French 

 Broad. " I have compared examples in the Academy from the 

 French Broad in Henderson County. 



Notropis coccogenis (Cope). Very abundant. Specimens of 



all ages secured the largest 110 mm. Adult males with front 



edge of snout, preorbital and mandibular rami covered with small 



tubercles. Also inner surfaces of pectoral rays with each of larger 



with row of fine tubercles. In preserved examples the blackish 



humeral bar, band on upper portion of dorsal and submarginal 



cresent distinct. 



Notropis brimleyi B. A. Bean.
