 (No. 3,236, A. X. S. P.) may not be Girard's type, as he shows an

Notropis cornutus cerasinus (Cope). PI. XVIII, fie. 31. 



Hypsilepis cornutus cerasinus Cope, Proc. Acad. Xat. Sci. Pliila., 1867, 

 p. 159. Head of Roanoke River. 



Cotypes of H. cornutus cerasinus 42 (type No. 3,791, A. N. S. P.). 

 Only the color given in Cope's account would point to the possibility 

 of it being distinct. He says "it is entirely deep rose the inferior 

 fins crimson." Jordan and Evermann state 8 that it is never more 

 than 4 inches long and yet the type, figured here, is 5. I cannot 

 distinguish Lcuciscus frontalis Agassiz and L. gracilis Agassiz, as a 

 distinct subspecies of N. cornutus. His figure shows about 23? pre- 

 dorsal scales and 8 branched anal rays. Under Hypsilepis frontalis 

 Cope distinguishes a number of Michigan examples. Later he notes 

 others as H. cornutus frontalis, which I have partly examined, and 

 find them to be within the variation of our common cornutus. The 

 strikingly large predorsal scales would suggest a possible distinction 

 were it not that other examples, from remote points in the range of 

 the species, show this character equally well. All of the variations 

 in structure are covered in cornutus.
