7. MYXOSTOMA GRASSILABEE {Cope) Jordan. 



Thiclc-lipped Mullet. 



1870 — FtycTiostomus crassilabris Cope, Proc. Am. Philos. Soc. Phila. 477, 1870. 



Teretulus crassilabris Jordan & Copeland, Check List, 157, 1876. (Name only.) 

 Myxostoma crassilabris Jordan, Man. Vert. ed. 2d, 314, 1878. 



Habitat. — Neuse River, North Carolina. 



This species is known only from Professor Cope's description. It 

 appears to be distinct from M. aureolum., which is probably its nearest 

 rehitive. Nothing has been noted in regard to its habits. 



8. MYXOSTOMA CONUS (Cope) Jordan. 



Long-nosed Mullet. 



1870 — Pfychostomus conus, Cope, Proc. Am. Philos. Soc. Phila. 478. 



Teretulus conus, Jordan & Copeland, Check List, 157, 1876. (Name only.) 

 Mjjxostoma conus, Jordan, Man. Vert. ed. 2d, 314, 1878. 



Habitat. — Yadkin River, North Carolina. 



This species is also known only from Professor Cope's account. There 

 appears, however, to be no room for doubt as to its specific distinction. 

 As stated by Professor Cope, " this fish represents the P. coregomis in 

 the section with fully-developed lips." 



It is taken in large numbers in the Yadkin River, " with Pt. collapsns, 

 Pt. robustus, etc., but is of less value than they." 



9. MYXOSTOMA ANISURA [Rafinesque) Jordan. 



Long-tailed Red Horse. 



1820 — Catosiomus anisurus Rafinesque, Ichthyologia Ohiensis, 54. 

 Myxostoma anisura Jordan, Man. Vert. ed. 2d, 315, 1878.
