Notes on a Collection of Fishes of Dubois County, Indiana. W. J. 



MOENKHAUS. 



The following list of fishes is offered as a slight addition to our knowledge of 

 the fishes of Indiana. The list is based on a collection made during the second 

 week in September, 1893, in Patoka River and Short Creek near Hantingburg, 

 Dubois County, Indiana. It has been withheld from publication thus long be- 

 cause I have hoped that further work might be done in the same streams, but as 

 each year makes this more improbable, it is perhaps best to publish the list as it 

 is. Very little is known of the fishes of the Patoka River, investigations having 

 been made only near its mouth, at the city of Patoka, by .Jordan and Evermann, 

 some years ago. (Jordan, Bull. U. S. Fish Com. VIII, 1890). 



The Patoka River flows from east to west across about one-half the width of 

 the State. In its course it passes through the southern part of Orange County 

 and through the middle of Dubois, Pike and Gibson counties, emptying into the 

 Wabash a few miles south of the mouth of the White River. In the vicinity of 

 Huntingburg where it was fished, the channel is from 75 to 100 yards in width. 

 The stream is everywhere obstructed along the l)anks and ofttimes entirely across
