FISHES OF THE SANTEE BASIN. 27 



32. Myxostoma album {Cope) J. & B. 



Pf)/cliostomiis albus Cope (1870), Proc. Aru. Phil. Soc. 472. 



The species — the " White Mullet" — was found by Professor Cope ia 

 the Catawba River only. We obtained no specimens from the Saluda, 

 which is perhaps due to the fact that our collections were not made 

 during the season of the migrations. 



Genus ERIMYZON Jordan. 



(Moxostoma Agassiz, but not of Raf.) 



33. Erimyzox sucetta iLac.) Jordan. 



Cyprinns sticetla Lac^p£:de. 

 Vyprinus oblongus Mitchill. 



This species is moderately abundant in the Saluda River. Professor 

 Cope found neither this species, nor the next, in the Catawba. 



Genus MINYTREMA Jordan. 



34. MlNYTREMA MELANOPS {Ecif.) JoY. 



Catostomus melanops Rafixesque, Kirtland, etc. 

 Aloxoaioma viciorice Girard. 

 Erimyzon melanops Jordan. 



This widely diffused species is abundant in the mill-ponds, etc., of the 

 Saluda River, and is known as the Striped Sucker. It is considerably 

 valued as afood-flsh. Many specimens were taken at Bannister's Mills, 

 on the Ennoree, the proprietor of the mill, Mr. Bannister, having 

 kindly drawn off the water from his i)ond, in order to enable us better 

 to examine its fishes. Our specimens seem to be precisely like the ordi- 

 nary melanops from the Ohio River and the Great Lakes. 



Genus CATOSTOMUS Le Sueur. 

 35. Catostomus commersoni {Lac.) Jor. 



The Fine-scaled Sucker is common in the Saluda, as in nearly every 

 stream east of the Rocky Mountains. It is especially abundant in mill- 

 ponds.
