bar below tke eye aiul a splotch ou the opercle. Pectorals and anal 

 iudigo blue. 



Many specimens, probably females, are less brilliant. In these the 

 dark bars are more distinct anteriorly; being, rather, square blotches. 

 Many of the scales above the lateral line have on them black spots 

 ^yhich are arranged with some regularity in longitudinal rows. Belly 

 and lower fins pale. 



The rays of the dorsal fins vary from IX-12 to X-14; those of the 

 anal may be II, G, but are usually II, 7. One male has a length of 2i 

 inches. 



2. Boleosoma olmstedi (Stor.) Ag. 



Common. In some cases D. YIII-14, A. I, 11. One specimen has 

 the fins, D. IX-12, A. I, 9, with breast sparsely scaled. 



3. Lepomis cyanellus Raf. 

 Common. 



4. Fundulus zebrinus Jor. iSc Gilb. 



Abundant in the shallow tributary. It is probably a fish that re- 

 quires a clear stream. 



5. Squalius eloagatus (Kirt.) Jor. & Gilb. 

 A single specimen. 



6. Semotilus atromaculatus Mitcbill. 



Quite common. One specimen nearly 5 inches long with C5 scales 

 along the lateral line; no visible barbel. 



7. Phenacobius mirabilis (Grd.) Jor. 



Several specimens were secured. Head in length 4J; D. 5J. Scales 

 about 45. Teeth 4-4; no traces of an inner series. 



9. Notropis megalops (Kaf.) J. & M. 



10. Notropis umbratilis (Gd.) J. & M.

12. Notropis lutrensis (Bd. & Gd.) J. & G. 



Abundant and showing the same variations in the dentition as have 

 been already referred to. 



13. Pimephales promelas coiifertus CGrd.) Gilbert. 



14. P. notatus (Raf.) Blatchley. 



One specimen with the intestines barely twice as long as the body. 

 Closely resembles an Indiana specimen of the same species except that 

 the caudal spot is a little more distinct. Might easily be taken for P. 

 vigilax. 



15. Clirosomus erythrogaster Ag. 

 Two specimens.
