I FISHES OF AEKANSAS. 



Oar collections were made iu the White Eiver, above the "Narrow 

 and in a somewhat smaller but very similar stream called King's Riv< 

 at a point east of Eureka Springs. A few specimens were taken frc 

 the brook which has its rise in the different springs at Eureka. 



1. Noturus miurus Jordan. 



2. Ictaliiriis punctatiis Rnfiuesqiio. 



3. Moxostoma macrolepidotuin Lc Suour. 



4. Placopharyns carinatus Cope. 



Not rare. 



5. Quassilabia laceia Jordau & Brayton. 

 Not rare. 



6. Campostoma auomalum Ivaliuesque. 



7. Hybogiiathus iiubila Forbes (var. ). 



{Albiiniojt'i nuhilus Forbes; Hybo'jiiaihus meeki Jordau &- Gilbert, MSS. 

 Catalogue Fish, N. A. ; no dcscr.) 



Common. Our specimens of this species differ from typical exam])l 

 received from Professor Forbes (from Kishwaulcee lliver at Belvidei 

 111.) in the greater sleuderness of the body and in the much paler coloi 

 tion. We therefore took them at first for a distinct species, to which w 

 given the MSS. name of 7/. mcelcl. A fuller comparison seems to lea 

 no doubt of their identity with H. niibila. 



Color light olivaceous above, sides with a plumbeous band overla 

 by bright silvery; no caudal spot, and few dark punctulations on side 

 only traces of a dark band along sides of head. In life the male fi: 

 has all the fins except the veutrals M'ashed with light red. A r( 

 shade on temporal region. 



Head, 4A in length ; depth, -f.i to 4f. Eye, 3 in head. Scales, 5-37- 

 12 scales before dorsal. Teeth, 4-4, with broad grinding surface, the tv 

 middle ones slightly but distinctly, [? hooked], as in so-called i)io«d 

 Suborbitals extremely narrow. Snout short, not very blunt. Moui 

 rather larger than in other Diondcv, the maxillary reaching to opposi 

 l^osterior nostril, SS in head. Pectorals, l- in head. 



This species was also obtained iu different streams of Southwestei 

 Missouri. 



8. Pimephales iiotatus Rafinesque. 



9. Notropis galacturus Cope. 



Very abundant; the commonest inhabitant of all the streams. Ste 

 blue in life. Base of caudal milky; the fin otherwise dusky, no re 

 Not evidently different from specimens from Tennessee.
