252 FISHES OF KANSAS. 



1. Etheostoma lepidum (Bd. »fc Gil.)- 



Some of the males of this species were most brilliantly colored. The 

 vertical bars of indij-o-blue were separated by bauds of orauge, which 

 was especially bright on the caudal peduncle. Much orange adorned 

 the anterior part of the body above the lateral line. Both dorsals with 

 a broad baud of orange or scarlet. 



2. Lepomis humilis (Grd.) Cope. 



3. Lepomis cyanellus Raf. 



4. Fuiidulus zebrinus J. & G. 



This si)ecies is very abundant in the vicinity of Wallace, and very 

 line and large specimens were collected. Little is to be added to Dr. 

 Gilbert's very full description given of this species in the Bulletin of 

 the Washburn Laboratory, 1S84, vol. i, p. 15. In my specimens the 

 eye is contained in the length of the head 5 times. The base of the 

 dorsal in the total length 7J times in the female, and 5J times in the 

 male. In the males the anterior margin of the dorsal is midway be- 

 tween the tip of the snout and the tip of the caudal: in the females it 

 is set considerably further back. 



Length of the longest specimen, 4 inches. 



6. Semotilus atromaculatus Mitchill. 



6. Hybopsis biguttatus (Kiit.) J. & M. 



7. Phenacobius mirabilis (Gnl.) Jor. 



With 44 transverse rows of scales. Teeth 4-4, no traces of an inner 

 tooth on either pharyngeal. A dorsal dusky streak and a dark band 

 from the snout through the opercle to the caudal, where it terminates in 

 a distinct black spot. 



8. Notropis megalops (Raf.) J. & M. 



9. Notropis deliciosus ((ird.) Jor. & M'k. 



Common. A row of dark specks along the lateral line. Scales 

 above dark-edged. A vertebral dusky streak and a lateral silvery 

 band. Snout du^ky. 



10. Notropis lutrensis (Bd. cS: Gd.) Gilbert. 

 Abundant. 



11. Notropis aeneoliis Hay. 



Fins all brilliantly red. AYhole head and eyes red, and body with a 

 tinge of the same color. 



12. Notropis germanus Hay, sp. iiov. 



It is with reluctance and trepidation that I add auother specitic name 

 to the (leliciosus group of yotrojns. In my collection made at Wallace 

 is a single specimen which I have not been able satisfactorily to refer 

 to any described species. Were the intestinal canal not so short — shorter 

 than the body — the specimen might be referred to Eybof/nafhus [JJionda) 

 mibila Forbes. Under the circumstances I deem it better to describe 

 the form as new.
