Fowler — A List of the Fishes of Pennsylvania. 53 



Clarion River) Clarion, (Conemaugh and Kiskiminitas Rivers formerly) 

 Indiana and (Tedionte and Warren) Warren Counties. 

 Erie basin, (Massassauga Point) Erie County. 



Acipenser brevirostrum Le Sueur. Short-nosed Sturgeon. 



Delaware basin in Bucks and Philadelphia Counties. Le Sueur's type 1 

 is still in the Academy and agrees with several examples I examined in the 

 field. 



Scaphirhynchus platorynchus (Rafinesque). Shovel-nosed Sturgeon. 

 Though the late Dr. Bean mentions 2 that "in the large tributaries of the 

 Ohio, in western Pennsylvania, the species is very common," the original 

 account by Rafinesque 3 contains our only definite record. 



POLYODONTID^. 



Polyodon spathula (Walbaum). Paddle Fish. 



Ohio basin in Allegheny, (Foxburg and Clarion River formerly) Clarion, 

 (Conemaugh River formerly at Blairsville) Indiana, McKean and (Tedionte 

 and Warren) Warren Comities. 



LEPISOSTEID.E. 

 Lepisosteus osseus (Linnaeus). Long-nosed Gar-pike. 



Delaware basin in Bucks, (Chester) Delaware, Monroe and Philadelphia 

 Counties. 



Susquehanna basin (Marietta, Safe Harbor) Lancaster and (Peach 

 Bottom) York Counties. 



Ohio basin (Foxburg) Clarion, (Conneaut Lake) Crawford, (Conemaugh 

 River formerly) Indiana and Warren Counties. 



Erie basin in Erie County. 



Lepisosteus platostomus (Rafinesque). Short-nosed Gar-pike. 



Known from Rafinesque's original account 4 which says "as far as Pitts- 

 burgh in the Allegheny River." Reported to me at Erie. 



AMIATIDiE. 

 Amiatus calvus (Linnaeus). Bowfin. 

 A "dog fish" reported at Allegheny City 5 is the only record I have for 

 the Ohio basin, though I found it abundant at Erie. Stauffer mentions an 

 example from the Susquehanna at Safe Harbor, 6 likely an introduction? 



HIODONTID^. 



Hiodon alveoides (Rafinesque). Gold-eye. 



Known from Cope's Beaver and Youghiogheny River examples which 

 I reported. 7
