FISHES OF THE SANTEE BASIN. 27 



32. Myxostoma album {Cope) J. tt B. 



Piifchostomvs albus Cope (1870), Proc. Am. Phil. Soc. 472. 



The species — tbe "White Mullet" — was found by Professor Cope iu 

 the Catawba Kiver only. We obtained no specimens from the Saluda, 

 which is perhaps due to the fact that our collections were not made 

 during the season of the migrations. 



Genus ERIMYZON Jordan. 



(iloxosfoma Agassiz, but not of Raf.) 



33. Erimyzon sucetta (Lac.) Jordan. 



Cyprinus sucetta Laci^p^de. 

 Vyprinus oblongus Mitchill. 



This species is moderately abundant in the Saluda River. Professor 

 Cope found neither this species, nor the next, iu the Catawba. 



Genus MINYTREMA Jordan. 



34. MlNYTllEMA MELANOPS {Fllf.) Jor. 



Catosiomus melanops Rafixesque, Kirtland, etc. 

 Moxostoma Victoria; Gikaisd. 

 Erimyzon melanops Jordan. 



This widely diffused species is abundant in the mill-poads, etc., of the 

 Saluda Eiver, and is known as the Striped Sucker. It is considerably 

 valued as a food-fish. Many specimens were taken at Bannister's Mills, 

 on the Ennoree, the proprietor of the mill, Mr. Bannister, having 

 kindly drawn oft" the water fiom his i)ond, in order to enable us better 

 to examine its fishes. Our specimens seem to be precisely like the ordi- 

 uary melanops from the Ohio lliver and the Gieat Lakes. 



Genus CATOSTO]\IUS Le Sueur. 



35. Catostomus commersoni [Lac.) Jor. 



The Fine-scaled Sucker is common in the Saluda, as in nearly every 

 stream east of the Kocky Mountains. It is especially abundant i" luill- 

 pouds.
