Chaenobryttus gulosus (Cuvier). 



Lepomis gillii Cope, Journ. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., VI, 1866-69 (December, 

 1868), pp. 222, 225. T^-pe, No. 12,789, A. N. S. P. Branch of Tuckahoe 

 Creek, in the bottoms of James River, twelve miles above Richmond. E, 

 D. Cope. 



Lepomis charybdis Cope, I.e., pp. 223, 224, was based on Calliurus melanopa 

 Girard, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1857, p. 200, from fresh waters of 

 Texas. 



One example taken from the stomach of an alligator from Taylor's 

 Creek, Lake Okeechobee, Fla. (Prof. A. Heilprin) ; Volusia, Fla. (E. D. 

 Cope); Neuse and Roanoke Rivers, N. C. (E. D. Cope); Mobile, Ala. 

 (Mus. Comp. Zool.); San Diego, in Duval county, Tex. (E. D. Cope); 

 Indiana (E. D. Cope). 



Enneacanthus gloriosus (Holbrook). 



Pomotis guttatus Morris, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1859, p. 3. Type, No, 



22,598, A. N. S. P. Vicinity of Philadelphia. Dr. J. Cheston Morris . 

 Hemioplites simulans Cope, Journ. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., VI, 1866-69 



(December, 1868), p. 217, PI. 22, fig. 7. T}^e, No. 13,449, A. N. S. P. 



Slow waters of Tuckahoe Creek, which enters the James River above 



Richmond, Virginia. E. D. Cope. 



Dr. Boulenger confuses this species with the next in Cat. Fish. Brit. 

 Mus., Ed. 2, 1, 1895, p. 19, as Apomotis obesus. 



Neuces River, N. C, and lower James River, Va. (E. D. Cope). 



Enneacanthus obesus (Girard). 



Volusia, Fla. (E. D. Cope), and Concord, Mass. (Dr. J. H. Slack). 

 One of the examples on which Morris based his Pomotis guttatus is this 

 species, however, as the name and intention are apparently to indicate 

 the preceding species, it may be restricted to the same. 



Apomotis oyanellus (Rafinesque). 



Bryttus signifer Girard, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1857, p. 201. Cotype, 

 iSTo. 13,187, A. N. S. P. Rio Medina, Texas. Dr. C. B. Kennerly. Smiths. 

 Inst. (No. 422). 



Bryttus mineopas Cope, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1865, p. 84. Cotypes. 

 Nos. 13,190 to 13,194, A. N. S. P. Minneopa, Minnesota. J. H. Slack. 



St. Joseph and Brownsville (Drs. D. S. Jordan and S. E. Meek), James

 Cope) and Miami River, Ind. (E. D. Cope); Leavenworth, Kan. (E. 

 D. Cope) ; Archer county, Llano and Wichita Rivers, Tex. (E. D. Cope). 



Apomotis is retained generically as the median posterior partition of 

 the air-vessel is only slightly developed, while in the species of Lepomis 

 examined it is usually well developed forwards.
