iiiod. A few specimens were takeu iiom a spring brook north of the 



city. 



1. Notunis nocturnus Jordan & Gilbert. 



2. Leptops olivaris Rafinest|iie. 



3. Campostoma anomalum Eafiuesque. 



4. Hybognathus nuchalis Agasaiz. 



5. Cliola vigilax Baird vt Girard. 



6. Pheiiacobius mirabilis Girard. • 



7. Notropis lutreusis Baird & Girard. 

 Abundant. 



8. Notropis texaniis Girard, 



A few specimens of a small Minnow of the deliciosus type, which we 

 are compelled to believe identical with the Cyprinella texana of Girard. 



Body more slender than in Girard's figure (perhaps deeper with age), 

 the depth about 4^ in length. Head about 4. D. 8 ; A. 8. Scales about 

 5_35_4 J 15 scales before dorsal. Eye 3 in head, a trifle longer than 

 snout. Maxillary 3 in head, about reaching front of eye. Mouth nearly 

 horizontal, the lower jaw little longer than upper. Lateral line nearly 

 straight ; fins moderate. 



Color silvery, the scales above dark-edged ; scales of lateral line with 

 dark points ; a small jet-black spot at base of caudal a little larger than 

 pupil ; a row of dark points along base of anal. 



Compare with Meek's descrijjtion of the type of Cyprinella texana 

 (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1885, 124). 



9. Zygonectes notatus Rafiuesqiie. 



10. Gambusia patruelis Baird &. Girard. 



11. Lepomis pallidus Mitcliill. 



12. Hadropterus scierus serrula Jordan & Gilbert. (30476.) 

 Rather abundant in flowing water in the river. 



13. Etheostonia fusiforme Girard. (36541.) 

 Abundant in the spring outlet. 



G. — RIO LAMPASAS, AT BELTON, TEXAS. 



The Eio Lampasas, at a point some 5 miles south of Belton, Tex., is 

 a clear, swift stream, fed by limestone sj^rings, and with a gravelly or 

 somewhat rocky bottom, the swift ripples alternating with deep quiet 

 areas, in which the water reaches a depth of 6 or 7 feet. At the locality 

 examined, just below the bridge on the toll-road, everything is favorable 

 for seining, and our list, although short, is probably nearly complete for 

 the locality. A large spring flows into the river at this point, and in 

 the spring and its outlet we found all our specimens of Ethcostoma and 

 Gamhima.
