A LIST OF FISHES COLLECTED IN THE EAST FORK OF WHITE 

 RIVER. INDIANA, WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF TWO NEW SPECIES. 



By CBARI.es H. 0IL,BERT. 



The material oii which the followiDg list is based, was obtained by a 

 day's seining with a fine-meshed net in the East Fork of White River, 

 near Bedford, Lawrence Conntj', Indiana, and by work in its tributary, 

 Salt Creek, at various points, in Brown and Monroe Counties. ' White 

 Eiver is at that point a rather rapid, clear, shallow, stream, flowing 

 over rockj gravel, and fine sand. Salt Creek is nearly everywhere slug- 

 gish, and flows between high steep clay banks. 



Tlie only list of the fishes of any Indiana stream which is even ap- 

 Ijroximately complete, is that based on the collections of Professors 

 Jordan and Copeland, in the West Fork of White River, at Indianap- 

 olis. Some differences will be noticed between that list and the present 

 one, but these are possibly due to differences in the nature of the streams 

 at the points examined. 



1. Noturus miurus Jordan. 



Exceedingly abundant in Salt Creek, where it was taken in great num- 

 bers at every haul of the seine. Also found in the channel of Yv'hite 

 River. 



2. Noturus flavus Raf. 



Almost equally common with the preceding 



3. Amiurus xanthocephalus Eaf. 



Specimens of a small yellow cat-fish, apparently belonging to this 

 species, were taken in Salt Creek, at Xashville, Brown County, Indiana. 



The color is light bright yellow, with the membranes of the fins, es- 

 pecially the anal and caudal, blackish, thus contrasting strongly with the 

 rays. Head rather narrow, its greatest width 1^ in its length] anterior
