46 NOTES U.\" INDIANA FISHES 



2S. Clirosomus erythrogaster Raf. Iied-leUied Dace. 



This pretty minuow was not seen in any of the streams of Carroll 

 Comity, but was quite common in Honey Creek, just over the line, inl 

 Howard County. This little stream, which Hows into Wild Cit a few 

 miles cast of the east line of Carroll County, is fed almost exclusively 

 by springs, and the water is perceptibly colder than thai of any of the 

 other streams which were seined. This i'.n-r accounts for the presence 

 in this stream of both this species ami the Black-nosed Dace. 



27. Hybognathus nuchalis A^assiz. Silvery Minnow. 



Noticed only in Wild Cat, Little Deer Creek, and the Wabash, but it 

 doubtless occurs ia all the streams of the county. 



28. Pimephaies notatus (Rat*.). Blunt-nosed Minnow. 

 Abundant in all the streams. 



29. Cliola vigilax Baird & Girard. Ball-head Minnow. 



We found this species only in the Wabash, where we obtaiued a few 

 specimens. 



30. Notropis deliciosus (Girard). 



Not uncommon in both the Wabash and Tippecanoe, where about a 

 dozeu specimens were taken. These specimens are of the variety stra\ 

 mineux, as given in Jordan & Gilbert's Synopsis of Fishes of North 

 America, but Professor Gilbert informs us that he now sees no good 

 reason for separating the two. The lateral line in these specimens 

 now before us counts from 34 to 38, thus justifying Professor Gilbert's 

 conclusion. 



31. Notropis boops Gilbert. 



A single specimen, which we refer with some doubt to this species, 

 was taken in the Wabash. Itagrees with boiips, except that there is no 

 angle in front of the dorsal, the anterior profile being gently curved, 

 the number of scales in the lateral line is 30 instead of 30, and there is 

 a small dark blotch at the base of the dorsal tin. (E.) 



32. Notropis whipplei Girard. 



Abundant everywhere except in Honey Creek, where it was not 

 found. 



33. Notropis megalops (Raf. ). 

 Common in all streams seined. 



34. Notropis lythrurus Jordan. 



A few specimens were taken in each stream seined, except the Tippe- 

 canoe. 



35. Notropis atherinoides (Raf.). 



Found to be rather common in all the streams except Honey Creek 

 and Little Deer Creek, where none were seen.
