Habitat. — Mississippi Valley ; generally abundant. 



This species is closely related to C. velifcr, but differs iu the abruptly 

 truncate snout, that of velifer bein^ conic. I am unable to recognize 

 C. selene a# a distinct species at i>resent, the form of the anterior sub- 

 orbital being the only distinguishing feature of much importance, and 

 that probably not a constant one. C. cutisanserimis is as abundant in 

 the Ohio as C. velifer, and I have seen many specimens from the Illinois 

 Kiver.
