(Named for Mr. N. Gist Gee.) 



MYLOLEUCISCUS ATRIPINNIS Garman. 



Head, 3^; depth, 3J; D. Ill, 7; A. Ill, 8; scales (damaged) in 

 lateral line, 39 to caudal base and 2 more on latter; 6 scales above 

 lateral line to dorsal, 4 below to anal; 14 predorsal scales; snout 4 

 in head; e3^e, 3^; maxillary, 3^; interorbital, 2§; head width. If. 

 Snout depressed, rather obtuse, length two-thirds its width. Maxil- 

 lary not quite to eye. No barbels. Interorbital depressed, but 

 slightly convex. Gill opening forward about opposite postorbital 

 edge. Rakers rudimentary, 2+7 obscure fleshy points, greatly 

 shorter than filaments, which are 1^ in eye. Teeth 4-5, strong, short, 

 conic; 2 or 3 molar-like; others shorter, with broad grinding surfaces. 

 Scales with 2 to 9 apical radiating striae and basal circuli 22 to 30. 

 First branched dorsal ray 1^ in head; first branched anal ray 1§; 

 caudal, 1 +f ; pectoral. If; ventral, 1^. 



In alcohol pale worm brown generally, each scale with dusky dots 

 along edges. Fins all brownish, thickly sprinkled with blackish dots, 

 dusted in appearance, and less pronounced on caudal basally, which 

 rather brownish. Iris pale leaden. No caudal spot or leaden band. 

 Length, 82 mm. 



As contended by Garman, Leuciscus aetJdops Basilewsky is evidently 

 congeneric, and may even be identical.

 to caudal base, and 3 more on latter; 12 scales above lateral line to 

 dorsal origin, 7 below to anal origin; 40 predorsal scales; snout, 3| 

 in head measured from upper jaw tip; eye, 4^; maxillary, 3; inter-
