LIST OF FISHES COLLECTED IN HARVEY AND COWLEY COUNTIES, KANSAS. 

 BY BARTON W. KVKKMANN AND MORTON W. FORDICE. 



About the last of May, 1884, Mr. Evermann made a small col- 

 lection of fishes at Newton and Winfield, Kansas. The speci- 

 mens from Newton are from a small stream called Sand Creek, 

 which Hows into the Little Arkansas, a tributary of the Arkansas. 

 Those from Winfield were obtained from Timber Creek, a tribu- 

 tary of Walnut River, which flows into the Arkansas. 



Sand Creek was seined just below a small dam near the town 

 of Newton, where the water is clear and the bottom sandy. 

 Farther down the creek was made up of numerous pools of 

 various sizes, and with bottoms and shores more or less muddy. 



Timber Creek is a sluggish stream, with usually muddy bottom 

 and water not clear. 



We here give a list of the species represented in the collection 

 as identified by us. All are now in the museum of the Indiana 

 University : —

but no specimens were obtained at Newton.
