A fine specimen of this siiecies was taken in the Chickasawha at En. 

 terprise. Another has since been sent me by Mr. Warner. 



Genus CH^NOBRYTTUS, Gill. 



13. Cheenobryttus gulosus (C. & V.) Gill. (No. 27,4.59.) 



CalUiirus melanops, Girahd, Pac. R. R. Surv. vol. x, 11, x)l. iii- 

 Chamohryltiis gulosus, Cope, Proc. Acatl. Nat. Sci. Phila. 18(35, 84. — JoitDAN, 

 Aiiuals N. Y. Lye. Nat. Hist. 1877, 361. 



A single specimen of this was obtained at Enterprise. It has many 

 of the characteristics assigned by Professor Jordan to Gh. viridis. This 

 latter species is attributed by him to the region from Virginia to Florida. 



In the specimen which I caught the coloration is quite dark, being a 

 reddish brown. Most of the scales have a dark spot in the center. This 

 spot, on a few of the scales along the sides, is quite conspicuous. The 

 fins are dark in color, the soft dorsal, especially behind, being marked 

 with spots. The base of the anal is also obsoletely spotted. Tips of 

 soft dorsal and anal in life bright red. Lower jaw and snout livid blue. 

 The specimen agrees well with Girard's GaUiurus melanops. I think it 

 not unlikely that Gh. gulosus and viridis will turn out to be varieties of 

 the same species.

 Ohio Railroad.
