250 FISHES OF KANSAS. 



16. Campostoma anomalum (Eaf.) Ag. 

 One of the commonest of fislies. 



17. Catostomus teres (Mitch.) Giinther. 



18. Noturus flavus Kaf. 

 One specimen only. 



Y.— Saline River, near Wa Iveeney, Trego County. 



The Saline at this point, 5 or G miles north of Wa Keeuey, is a shallow, 

 rather rapid prairie brook, with a clean, sandy bed. Its depth, when 

 visited, varied from a few inches to 3 or 4 feet. Twenty-two species 

 were secured. 



1. EtheoBtoma lepidum (Bel. & Gd.). 



iJ^umerons specimens of this brilliant little fish were secured. The 

 Etlieostombuc appear to be meager in species in this region. 



2. Boleosoma olmstedi (Stor.) Ag. 



3. Lepomis humilis (Grd.) Cope. 



4. Lepomis cyaiiellus Raf. 



Several fine specimens were secured. 



5. FunduluB zebrinua J. &, G. 

 Very abundant. 



6. Hyodon alosoides (Raf.) J. & G. 

 One small specimen. 



7. Semotilus atromaculatus Mitcbill. 



8. Hybopsis biguttatus (Kirt.) J. «fc M. 



Numerous large specimens are found in the collection. 



9. Hybopsis storerianus (Kirt.) J. & M. 



Hijhopsh storerianus, Jordan & Meeli, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 18y5, 6. 



In the Saline collection are several specimens that appear to belong 

 to the above-named species. They are, however, in poor condition, the 

 scales being so completely removed that their number cannot be deter- 

 mined. Moreover, the dentition differs from that heretofore assigned 

 to this species, being neither 4-4 nor 1, 4-4, 0, but 1, 4-4, 1. Head in 

 the length, 4^ ; depth, 5. Otherwise the specimens conform to the de- 

 scriptions. 



10. Phenacobius mirabilis (Grd.) Jor. 



11. Notropis megalops (Kaf.) J. &, M. 



Several small specimens and one with a total length of 5^ inches. 

 This has the sides charged with rosy pigment. Branchiostegal region 

 red. Lower fins orange. 



12. Notropis deliciosus (Grd.) Jor. «fe M'k. 



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



Common, as it is elsewhere in Western Kansas. One male with its 

 characteristic bright colors has the teeth 1, 4-4, 1.
