III.— FRANKLIN COUNTY. 



In Bulletin No. 2 of the Brookville Society of Natural History, Mr. 

 Evermaun published "A List of the Fishes observed in the Vicinity of 

 Brookville, Franklin County, Indiana.'' 



This list, printed in March, 1886, contained thirty-five species. About 

 the 20th of May following a little time was spent by W. P. Shan- 

 non aud O. P. Jenkins seining Little Salt Creek, in the northwestern 

 part of the county, which enables us to add the following nine species to 

 the list : 



1. Catostoruus teres Mitehill. 6. Notropis atherinoides (Raf. ). 



2. Chrosomus erythrogaster Agassiz. 7. Ericymba buccata Cope. 



3. Hybognathus nuchalis Agassiz. 



4. Notropis whipplei Girard. 



5. Notropis lythrnrus Jordan. 



K Rhinichthys atronasus (Mitchill). 

 9. Semotilus atroinacnlatus (Mitchill). 



IV.— OCCURRENCE OF THE BROOK STICKLEBACK (EUCALI A INCONSTANS 

 Kikt.) IN THE OHIO BASIN. 



Jordan & Gilbert give Uucalia inconstans as ranging from '-New 

 York to Kansas aud Greenland, in fresh waters only ; abundant iu the 

 Great Lake region." So far as we are able to learn it has never been 

 reported from the Ohio Valley until now. To W. P. Shannon, of 

 Greensburgh, Iud., belongs the credit of its discovery in this region. 



In a " List of the Fishes of Decatur County, Indiana," recently printed 

 privately by Mr. Shannon, he reports that he took about twenty speci- 

 mens in some ponds which were tributary to Clifty and Flat Rock Creeks, 

 which tiow through that county. These were obtained in June, 1887. 

 Specimens of this fish have been introduced into Clear Creek, in the 

 State University campus atBloomington, from Cayuga Lake, New York. 



The following species are here reported for the first time from In- 

 diana : 



Lagochila lacera Jor. & Brayt. Notropis arge (Cope). 



Etheostonia pellucidum clarurn Jor. & Etheostonia jessue Jor. & Brayt. 

 Meek. | Etheostonia asprelhis Jordan.
