FISHES OF THE ALABAMA BASIN. 45 



Alabama Basin. These are: Xcnisma steWfennn, Zygonectes guitatus, 

 Zygonectes hieroglypJiiciis , Uyclrophlox xcc7iociphalus, HydropMox chroso- 

 mtis, Codoma caUistia, Codoiua trichroistia, Codoma coendea, Codoma 

 stigmaturaj Notropis siilhins, Phenacohhts catostoinus, Catostovius nigri- 

 cans etovarms, and Myxostoma euryops. 1 exclude from this enameration 

 one or two species recorded from the Black Warrior River, as it is 

 likely that the fauna of that stream will prove, in part at least, different. 

 Certain common Northern or Western types, apparently absent in the 

 streams hitherto noticed, make their appearance in the waters of the 

 Alabama. Among these are LnxiJus cornutns, Kotemigonus chrysolencus, 

 Cliccnobrytfus giilosns, Hyodon, Fhenacobius, etc. 



ETHEOSTOMATIDiE. 



Genus PERCINA Haldeman. 

 1. Percina caprodes {Eaf.) Grd. 

 Abundant : precisely like Northern specimens. 



Genus HADROPTERUS Agassis. 



2, HADROPTERUS NIGROFASCIATUS AgaSSlZ. 



Abundant: first described from near Mobile. 



Genus ULOCENTRA Jordan. 

 3. Ulocentra stigm^a Jordan. 

 Boleosoma stigmcea Jordan (1877), Aun. Lye. Nat. Hist. N. Y. 311. 



Common in clear water. This species also occurs in the streams of 



Louisiana. 



Genus BOLEICHTHYS Girard. 



4. BoLEiCHTHYS ELEOANS Girard. 



Abundant in clear, weedy ponds. This may not be identical with 

 Girard's species, which was originally described from Texas. 



PERCID^. 



Genus STIZOSTETHIUM Bafinesque. 



5. STIZOSTETHIUM SALMONEUM Rafitiesque. 



In the river-channels of the Oostanaula. We have had no opportu- 

 nity to examine specimens, and we are not sure that the Alabama fish 

 is the original salmoneum.
