at Memphis and Vicksburg, in the Big Black at Edwards and Vaugkan's, 

 and in the Pearl at Jackson. 



50. Semotilus corporalis (Mitch.) Putnam. — Horned Dace. 



A few were found along the Big Black near Edwards. 



51. Ceratichthys amblops (Raf.) Cope & Jor. — Big-eyed Chut. 



A few good specimens were secured in the Pearl River at Jackson. 



CATOSTOMIDJE. 



52. Mozostoma macrolepidotum rar. duajuesnii (Le S.) Jor. — Red Horse. 



One well-characterized specimen of this species was obtained at Jack- 

 son, Miss. 



53. Moxostoma pcecilurum Jor. — Variegated-tailed Mullet. 



Moxostoma macrolepidotum et pwcilurum Hay, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. iii, 1880, 

 512. 



Two small specimens of a Moxostoma that were caught at Jackson are 

 referred, with a good deal of doubt, to this species. They appear to 

 have some indications of the peculiar coloration of the caudal fin of 

 this species. The specimens of this genus described as above cited 

 from Eastern Mississippi were all of this species, as a re-examination of 

 my collection has shown. No doubt it exists throughout the southern 

 half of the State. 



54. Cycleptus elongatus (Le S.) Ag. — Black Horse; Missouri Sucker. 



One specimen having a total length of 21 inches was taken from the 

 Pearl River. 



55. Carpiodes carpio (Raf.) Jor. — Biver Carp Sucker. 



This is an abundant fish everywhere in the region visited. Speci- 

 mens were obtained at Memphis, Vicksburg, Edwards, and Jackson. 



56. Ictiobus cyprinella (C. & V.) Ag. — Brown Buffalo Fish. 



Quite as common as the preceding. The young were taken at Mem- 

 phis, Vicksburg, Edwards, and Vaughan's. One specimen 9 inches 

 long was taken in the Big Black near Edwards. 



SILURID.E. 



57. Ictalurus punctatus (Raf.) Jor. — Channel Cat. 



Common everywhere and attaining a great size. Taken at Vicksburg, 

 Edwards, Jackson, and Grenada. 



58. Amiurus melas (Raf.) Jor. & Copeland. — Black Cat. 



Abundant everywhere. Specimens taken at every point visited, 

 except Grenada. 



59. Amiurus marmoratus (Holb.) Jor. — Marbled Cat. 



Two specimens that I refer to this species were captured at Memphis.
