of specimens collected by the writer in different streams from Iowa to Sontheru 

 Texas have convinced me that all belong to a single species, variable in depth of 

 body according to sex and circumstances, but otherwise very constant. 



^ Montana proserpina Girard, Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1856, 199. This species is 

 well separated from the others with which Dr. Girard has associated it, and seems 

 to be the same as his Montana auraia. 



-Leuciscus h uhal in us Baird & Girard =: Ci/jmnella umlrosa Girard ^= Cyprinella gun- 

 nisoni Girard. The types of C. umhrosa have 32 scales in the lateral line ; those of C. 

 gunnisoni 34 ; the latter are young examples of the same species. 



^Cyprinella ruiripinna Garman, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., 1881, VIII, 91. The name 

 rubrijnnna (rubrijiinnis) is twice preoccupied in the genus Xotropis, as here understood. 



* Cyprinella notata Girard. This is apparently a valid species, very close to N. 

 cercosUgma, but with larger scales (34) and a much fainter caudal spot. Specimens 

 trora Austin, Tex., agree fairly with Girard's types, which are in very bad condition. 



'^Cyprinella cercosUgma Cojie ^ Luxilus chickasavensis Hay= Cliola urostigma Jordan 

 «fe Meek, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1884, 475. Specimens examined from Pearl River, 

 Mississippi, and from nearly all the rivers of Texas from the Red to the Nueces. In all 

 these specimens the number of scales in the lateral line is 37 to 39, while in specimens 

 from the Alabama Basin (Etowah, Coosa, Alabama, Black Warrior) the number is from 

 42 to 44. I regard these as an Eastern variety, stigmaiurns (Photogenis siigmaiurus 

 Jordan = Ciiprinella callinra Jordan). Excepting the size of the scales and the more 

 orange coloration of the fins in the var. cercosUgma, I can detect no constant difference. 



•^I cannot distinguish N. analostanus from N. tvhipplei. Arkansas specimens have 

 the body usually a little more elongate, but are not otherwise different. 



''Cliola camura Jordan &, Meek, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1884, 474. Arkansas Basin, 

 Colorado to Missouri.
