VII. Genus, RED-EYE, APLOCENTRUS, Aplocentre. (p. 31.) 

 19th species, Ohio Red-Eye. APLOCENTRUS CALLIOPS. Aplocentre 



beloeuil. (p. 31.) 



A myth, described from a drawing by Mr. Audubon. Its characters 

 would indicate a sort of Sunfish with a dorsal fin resembling that of 

 Coryvhcem, " beginning behind the head with a single long, spiny ray, 

 and ending close to the tail ". 



The name "Eed-Eye" in the region which this fish is supposed to in- 

 habit is chiefly applied to the Eock-Bass [AmUojilites rupestris). 

 VIII. Genus, BARBOT, POGOSTOMA, Barbotte. (p. 34.) 

 20th species, White-Eyes Barbot. POGOSTOMA LEUCOPS. Barbotte 

 ceuilblanc. (p. 35.) 



Another mythical species," described from a drawing of Mr. Audubon " 

 It is a toothless Sunfish, with two small distant dorsal fins, and six bar- 

 bels about the mouth. Whatever it is, it has probably no longer " a 

 great many vulgar names, such as White-Eyes, Spectacles-Fish, Streaked 

 Sunfish, Black Sunfish, Barbot, Bearded Sunfish, etc.". Nor do the 

 French settlers call it "Barbotte, Poisson Lunette, and (Euil-Blanc". 

 There is no sort of foundation for Professor Agassiz's assertion that 

 t' Pogostoma is evidently synonymous with Lota'\
