usually less. Its head is also shorter and broader though Jordan 

 and Evermann say "head long, narrower than in H. amblops."* 



The plumbeous median lateral band of Hybopsis rubrifrons 

 extends indistinctly around the snout and is usually within the 

 compass of the lateral line, ending in a dark caudal spot not es- 

 pecially pronounced. Each scale of lateral line with a cluster of 

 black dots, one above and the other below each tube. At this 

 season our specimens are with pale olivaceous backs, scales dark 

 edged and sides below bright silvery white. Fins also pale. No red. 

 Hybopsis rubrifrons was originally described from the South Fork 

 of the Ocmulgee River at Flat Rock in De Kalb County, based 

 on six specimens. Its occurrence and abundance in the Savanna 

 Basin is therefore of interest. 



Hybopsis kentuckiensis (Rafinesque). Very abundant. Though 

 without ornamentation at this season all the specimens show the 

 dorsal and anal nearly bittersweet-orange in tint, varying to more 

 deeply in some individuals. The dark median lateral band distinct, 

 though not conspicuous, only faintly present in the adults, the 

 largest 116 nun. Ninety specimens. 



< atostomus nigricans (Le Sueur). Six largest 93 mm. 



Minytrema melanops (Rafinesque). Six small examples. 



(2). In a small tributary brook of Toccoa Creek, near Toccoa, 

 we found many fine minnows. This stream is of rapid cold water, 

 flowing over rocks with many cascades, riffs, and a few water-falls. 



Semotilus atromaculatus (Mitchill). One young example. 



Notropis rubricroceus (Cope). The most abundant species in 

 all the rock-pools, and deeper places in the brooks. The adults, 

 largely silvery at this time, have much the appearance of Leuciscus 

 vandoisulus. 



Hybopsis kentuckiensis (Rafinesque). Seven young. 



Catostomus nigricans (Le Sueur). Three young. 



Minytrema melanops (Rafinesque). One young. 



On October 16, the headwaters of the Oconee River, near 

 hula, Hall County, were visited. The stream we visited was a 

 small clear cold spring-fed brook. It flows through bottom-lands 

 with little incline, over gravel and red clay. In most places it is 

 diflicult to approach, on account of thickets and shrubs.
