From the particulars given by Prof. Snyder, it is probable that the fish 

 of Silver Creek, Oregon, is the same. Prof. Snyder counted the anal fin 

 raj's of 124 examples of Ji. balteatus, with this result:

The generic name Richardso7iius is used in place of Leuciseus, because 

 a study of various species of true Leuciseus at the British Museum last 

 summer shows that none of the American species really belongs to that 

 genus, the character of the scales being essentially ditierent. It is equally 

 impossible to use Phoxinus for any of tlie American species, as the true 

 Phoriniis {Leuciseus phoxinus) has a scale with basal and apical radii, 

 and except for tlie greater number of circuli, almost the same as that of 

 Chrosoiuus. The American species of " Pho.cinns^' are as far from this 

 type as is possible among the fishes called Leuciseus. The specimen of L. 

 phoxinus is from Leyn Arenig, ^lerioneth, 2,000 ft. (//. E.Forrest; British 

 ^luseum Collection).

Compared with Notropis muskoka Meek, to whicli tiiis species is closely 

 related, our fish is a deeper fish; the lateral strij)e is much more heavily 

 pigmented. (probably not a specific character) and the snout is somewhat
