44i). NOTROPIS AXALOSTAXUS (Girard). 



The eastern representative of JSf. wliipplU. Entirely similar to whipplii 

 except that the body is less elongate, the adult male 3i in length instead of 

 4, and the scales larger, 34 or 35 in the lateral line instead of 38 to 40. Prob- 

 ably to be regarded as a different species, but possibly intergrading with 

 whipplii on the westward and perhaps with nireus southward. Streams 

 about Delaware and Chesapeake bays; abundant in the Potomac and 

 James ; recorded from the Susquehanna and Delaware. (From Analostan 

 Island, in the Potomac.)

 sometimes pale reddish ; females olivaceous, obscurely marked. Length 

 5 to 6 inches. Ozark region to Cumberland, Tennessee, and Savannah 

 rivers ; abundant in the mountain streams. Known by its large size and 

 the peculiar yellowish baud across the caudal, {yala, milk; ovpd, tail.)
