Habitat. — Mississippi Valley ; generally abundant. 



This species is closely related to C. vdifcr, but differ.s in the abruptly 

 trnucate snout, tbat of velifer being conic. 1 am unable to rccognizL- 

 C. sclene as a distinct species at present, the form of the anterior sub- 

 orbital being the only distinguishing feature of nuu-h inii)ortanee, and 

 tbat probably not a constant one. C. cKtisanscrinns is as abundant in 

 the Ohio as C. rcUfcr, and I have seen many specimens from the Illinois 

 Eiver.
