tlio tibove (lescriptioii is based were collected by T>r. E. Palmer, at Fort 

 Lyon, Colorado. 



This species seeuis to be well distingnisbed from all the Cyprinelhc 

 describe<l by Girard. 



2. Cliola urostigma, sp. iiov. 



Head, 4 in length; depth, 3f. D. 8; A. S. Scales, 7-38-3. Teeth, 

 1, 4-4, 0. Length (1>()440, llio Sail Saba), 4 inches. 



Snbgenns Cyprinella, Girard. 



Body rather elongate, compressed; the back considerably elevated. 

 Candal peduncle rather deep; anterior profile rather steej), gently con- 

 vex. Snont rather blunt, about as long as eye, which is narrower than 

 the interorbital space, and about 4 in head. Mouth not very small, 

 oblique, the lower jaw included. Maxillary reaching vertical from front 

 of eye; its length 3^ in head. 



Scales rather large, closely imbricated; those on the sides of body 

 deei)er than long; about 17 scales on median line of back before dorsal. 

 Lateral line strongly decurved. 



Insertion of dorsal a little behind that of veutrals, midway between 

 ti]) of snout and base of caudal. Dorsal fin higher than long, its longest 

 rays If in head. Pectorals 1^- in head, not nearly reaching veutrals; 

 veutrals nearly reaching front of anal, H in head. Anal short and 

 rather low, its free margin somewhat concave. 



Color, in alcohol, silvery; darker above, with a large, distinct oblong 

 jet-black spot at base of caudal fin ; this about as large as eye. Caudal 

 fin mesially dusky; au obsolete dusky shade on last rays of dorsal. 



The above description is based upon about 20 specimens (20446) col- 

 lected iu part by Mr. W. W. Anderson, in San Saba Eiver, a tributary 

 of the (Texas) Colorado Eiver, at Fort McKavit, Texas; and about 10 

 others (17812) taken in Clear Creek, Texas, by Ludwig Kumlein and R. E. 

 Earll. These vary in length from two to four inches. Most of them are 

 in fine condition. 



This species resembles C. caUiura and C. stigmatura, but it has larger 

 scales than either of these. 



3. Notropis metallicus, sp. no v. 



Bead, 4 ; depth, 5. D. 8. A 11. Scales, 5-3.5-3. Teeth, 2, 4-4, 2 

 Length (28511, Nashville, Ga.), ^ inches. 



Subgenus Notropis [Minnilus). 



Body rather elongate, somewhat compressed, formed much as in K. 

 ehrosomns^ the back a little elevated, highest at the insertion of the dor- 

 sal. Head small, the snout not very acute, its length less than diame- 

 ter of eye. Mouth rather large, oblique, the maxillary reaching to ver- 

 tical from front of eye, its length 3^ iu head. Lower jaw projecting. 

 Eye rather large, 3 in head. Interorbital region about as broad as eye. 



Scales large, about 16 in front of dorsal ; lateral line considerably de- 

 curved ; teeth 2, 4-4, 2, the grinding surface not evident.
