 occasionally iii, 7, i; scales usually 32, frequently 33, occasionally 31, 

 seldom 34, rarely 29 or 30 4- usually 2, rarely 1 or 3; 5 scales above 1. 1.,

 tified with the preceding, but seems to differ somewhat in its more 

 slender body.

Hybopsis spectrnnculus Cope, Journ. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila. (2), VI, 1868 

 (December), p. 231, PI. 22, figs. 3-3o. Bear Creek, Holston River basin,

Notropis blennius (Girard). PI. XVI, fig. 10. 



Alburnops blennius Girard, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1856, p. 194. 

 Arkansas River near Ft. Smith. 



Cotype of A. blennius, agreeing in most particluars with Girard's 

 accounts, and Is unquestionably the fish he calls A. blennius, whatever 

 others may be confused, as he mentions 18 examples. Jordan gives 1 

 the teeth of one of Girard's examples as 1, 4-4, 0, which, if not broken, 

 would suggest something different.
