N"o1 common. An interesting little fish, and is easily distin- 

 guished among our cyprinoids by its very small mouth and strongly 

 projecting lower jaw. Not previously known from the Tennessee 

 River basin. 



Ceratichtkys vigilaz Baird and Girard. Four small examples. 



Notropis hoops Gilbert. Two examples, largest 55 mm. These 

 specimens 1 questionably place with this species. They are greatly 

 like Hybopsis amblops of equal size, though without any grinding 

 surfaces, or only with slightly or irregular transverse grooves 

 suggestive of erenulations. 



Votropis whipplii (Girard). Seven examples, largest 60 mm. 



Notropis coccogenis (Cope). Ten, largest 73 mm. 



Notropis telescopus (Cope). Thirty-one. 



Notropis umbratilis (Girard). Very abundant. 



Hybopsis dissimilis (Kirtland). Twenty-two examples, largest 

 84 mm. Only met with in schools, at the ford, in open shallow 

 water. The species appears to collect in schools of moderate size, 

 and mostly composed of individuals of uniform size. 



Hybopsis amblops ( Rafinesque). Twenty-two. 



Catostomus nigricans (Le Sueur). Three young. 



Moxostoma aureolum (Le Sueur). One young example. Paired 

 fins and dorsal pale orange, tip of latter blackish. 



Fundulus catenatus (Storer). Adult male 90 mm. long. Associ- 

 ated with Hybopsis dissimilis. 



Fundulus notatus (Rafinesque). Two. 



Labidesthes sicculus (Cope). Ten. 



Lepomis megalotis (Rafinesque). One 40 mm. 



Micropterus dolomieu (Lacepede). One young. 



l-'.lh, ostoma blennioides Rafinesque. One 52 mm. 



Ulocentra simotera (Cope).
