51. Esox vermiculatus Le Sueur. Pike; Little Pickerel 



Specimens were obtained from both Deer Creeks, Wild Cat, the Wa- 

 bash, and Tippecanoe. 



52. Anguilla anguilla rostrata (Le Sueur). Common Eel. 



No eels were seen at this time, but on former occasions I have seen 

 specimens from Wild Cat, Deer Creek, and the Wabash. In 1883 I 

 got two fine ones from Deer Creek, near Camden. (E.) 



53. Labidesthes sicculus Cope. Skip-jack; Brook Silverside. 



Common in Wild Cat, Wabash, and Tippecanoe. Rare in Deer Creek. 



54. Pomoxis sparoides (Lacepede). Calico Bass. 



Noted only in the Wabash, where it appears to be rather common. 



55. Ambloplites rupestris (Raf.). Red-eye; Goggle-eye. 



Common. Specimens obtained from all the streams except Houey 

 Creek, where it was not seen. 



56. Lepomis cyanellus (Raf.). Common Sunfish. 



Apparently common everywhere except in Honey Creek, where no 

 specimens of the genus were seen. 



57. Lepomis megalotis (Raf.). 



The collection contains specimens from all the streams seined except 

 Honey Creek. 



58. Lepomis pallidus (Mitchill). 



Not seen anywhere except in the Tippecanoe, where I found it to be 

 common. (J.) 



59. Micropterus salmoides (Lacepede). Large-mouthed Black Bass. 

 Apparently not common, but most so in the larger streams. Taken 



in Wild Cat, Deer Creek, Wabash, and the Tippecanoe. 



60. Micropterus dolomieu Lace"pede. Small-mouthed Black Bass. 



Much more common than the preceding. Numerous specimens taken 

 in all the streams except Honey Creek, where none were seen. 



61. Etheostoma pellucidum Baird. Sand Barter. 



Apparently rare in all the streams except the Wabash and Tippe- 

 canoe. Only one specimen was obtained in Wild Cat, although careful 

 search was made for it, and none were found in Honey Creek, Little 

 Deer Creek, or Deer Creek; in the last, however, several specimens 

 were seen in 1884 and 1885. It was found to be very abundant in the 

 Wabash just below Delphi and Pittsburgh bridge. 



62. Etheostoma pellucidum clarum Jordan & Meek. 



In the Proceedings of the U. S. National Museum for 1885 (p. 8), 

 Professors Jordan and Meek described the supposed new Darter, Ammo- 

 crypta clara, from the Des Moines River at Ottumwa, Iowa, These
