Genus AMIURUS Bafinesque. 



75. Amiurus natalis {Le iS.) Gill.

Eather abundant in Tennessee River. Other species of this genus 

 are doubtless common ; but they have not been distinguished. 



Genus PELODICHTHYS Bafinesque. 



76. PELODICHTHYS OLIVARIS {Eaf.) Gill & Jor. 



Abundant in the channels of the larger streams. Several specimens 

 from the French Broad.

 tioned in this paper ; but, from its habits, it is not easily taken with a 

 small net. 



Genus NOTURUS Bafinesque. 



11. NoTURUS ELEUTHERUS Jordan.

 Cocke County, Tennessee, near its junction with the French Broad. 

 Many other specimens have since been obtained in Tar River, North 

 Carolina.

 the streams farther south.
