 resume of all that is certainly known in regard to the ichthyology of 

 the seven hydrographic basins embraced in its scope, viz, the Santee, 

 Savannah, Altaniaha, Cliattahoocheo, Alabama, Tennessee, and Cum- 

 berland. For purposes of comparison, a table of distribution of speciCvS 

 is added, which iucludes, in addition, what is known of the fish-faunai 

 of the James, Eoanoke, Neuse, Great Pedee, and Ohio. 



The following is a classified list of the streams which have been ex- 

 amined in each water-basin included in this paper, with a word or two 

 suggestive of the character of each stream. The collections in every 

 case were made by one or both of the present writers, unless otherwise
