 Butler University, during the past summer (1877), in various streams of 

 South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee. For the purpose of a more 

 complete discussion of questions of geographical distribution, the au- 

 thors have brought together, wit I) their own observations, those previ- 

 ously made on the fish-faunae of the same streams by other writers, 

 especially the observations on the fishes of the Tennessee Basin by 

 Professor Agassiz ;* those on the fishes of the basins of the Santeet 

 (Catawba), Teunessee,f and Cumberland,!] by Professor Cope, and on 

 the fishes of the Cumberland, Tennessee, Alabama, and Altamahai
