FISHES OF THE SAXTEE BASIN. 15 



Genus ETHEOSTOMA Rafinesque. 

 4. Etheostoma flabkllake Eaf. 



{Catonotus Jlahdlatus Auct.) 



Three specimens doubtfully referred to tliis species were obtaiued by 

 Professer Cope iu the Catawba Riv^er. 



CENTRAHCHIDiE. 



Genus MICROPTERUS Lacepede. 



5. MiCROPTERUS PALLIDUS (Rajiiu'sqiie) Gill cf- Jordan. 



Professor Cope obtained this si)ecies in the Catawba. We collected 

 none iu the Saluda or Euuoree, but we were told ihat " Trout", as the 

 species of Micro^pterus are universally called iu the South, are frequentlj* 

 taken there. 



Genus CH^ENOBRYTTUS Gill 



C). Ch^nobryttus viridis {Cuv. c£- Val.) Jordan. 



The War-mouth Perch occurs in abundance in the Saluda, and ai)par- 

 eutly in all the South Atlantic streams. Coi)e says that it is exceedingly 

 common in all the streams of Eastern North Carolina, and that it is 

 known as the Red-eyed Bream on the Catawba. This species is very 

 closely related to C. gulosusj differing chied}' iu the color and iu the 

 somewhat less robust form. It may be only a variety. 



Genus LEPIOPOMUS Bafinesque. 



7. Lepiopomus auritus {Linnwus) Jiaf. 



All my specimens of this species from the Saluda have a dusky blotch 

 or bar at the base of the soft dorsal, a feature of coloration not shown by 

 my Northern specimens. This is a widely diffused species, and, like most 

 such, is quite variable. 



Genus EUPOMOTIS Gill S Jordan. 



8. EupoMOTis AUREUS ( Walbaum) Gill & Jordan. 



Professor Cope obtaiued this species iu Catawba River. We have 

 never collected it in the Southern States. It is probably chiefly con- 

 lined to the lowland regions.
