FISHES OF THE SANTEE BASIN. 15 



Genus ETHEOSTOMA Rafinesque. 

 4. Etheostoma flabellare liaf. 



(Cato)totiis flahtUatus Auct.) 



Three specimens doubtfuily referred to this species were obtained by 

 Professer Cope iu tlie Catiiwba River. 



GENTRARCHID^. 



Genus MICROPTERUS Lacepede. 



5. MiCROPTERUS PALLiDUS {Bafinesqiie) Gill tC Jordan. 



Professor Cope obtained this species iu the Catawba, We collected 

 iioue in the Saluda or Eunoree, bnt we were told that " Trout", as the 

 species of Micropierus are universally called iu the South, are frequentlj' 

 takeu there. 



Genus CHJENOBRYTTUS Gill 



G. Ch^nobryttus viridis {Guv. t£- Val.) Jordan. 



The War-mouth Perch occurs iu abundance in the Saluda, and appar- 

 ently iu all the South Atlantic streams. Cope says that it is exceedingly 

 common in all the streams of Eastern North Carolina, and that it is 

 known as the Red-eyed Bream on tbe Catawba. This species is very 

 closely related to G. gulosiis, difleriny; chiefly iu the color aud iu the 

 somewhat less robust form. It may be only a variety. 



Genus LEPIOPOMUS Bafinesqiie. 



7. Lepiopomus auritus [Linnccus) Raf. 



All my specimens of this species from the Saluda have a dusky blotch 

 or bar at the base of the soft dorsal, a feature of coloration not shovvu by 

 my Northern specimens. This is a widely diffused species, and, like most 

 such, is quite variable. 



Genus EUPOMOTIS Gill S Jordan. 



8. EuPOMOTis AUREUS ( ^Yalhaum) Gill & Jordan. 



Professor Cope obtained this species in Catawba River. We have 

 never collected it iu the Southern States. It is probably chiefly cou- 

 flned to the lowland regions.
