' Cypi'imis megalops Rafinesque, Amer. Monthly Magazine and Crit. Review, 1, 121, 

 December, 1817= Cyprinus cormitus Mitchill, Amer. Monthly Mag., II, 324, February, 

 1818. The name of Rafinesque has, therefore, priority. 



JSybopsiii plunibeolus Cope seems to have been based on a young specimen of this 

 species. 



^Alburnus zonatus Agassiz, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool.,1, 9, 1863. Abundant in the Ozark 

 region of Missouri and .^rkansas: a beautiful species, closely allied to N. coccogenis, 

 but with smaller mouth and different coloration. For detailed description see Jordan 

 & Gilbert, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1885. 



^As the typical species of JZ&urwojjs Girard {hlenniua) has the teeth 1, 4-4, 0, the name 

 Hydrophlox may be adopted for this section, while Alhurnops should supersede Miniellus. 



* Notropis spilurus Gilbert & Swain, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1885. Northern Alabama. 



^ Alburnellus megalops Girard. The name megalopa is preoccupied in this genus. For 

 a description of this abundant species, see Jordan, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1885. 



«I now regard the forms called in the Synopsis, diplcemius (Minnilus diplcemiua Auct. 

 (not Semotilus diplcemius Rafinesque) = Notropis lythrurus Jordan, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 

 1884, 476), atripes, cyanocephalus, and ardens as varieties of a single species, of which 

 the oldest tenable specific name is that oi ardena Cope.

 1, 1884, 14 = i?m/«8 lucidus Girard = ? JVbiropis maerolepidotus Forbes. Bull. Ills. Lab. 

 Nat. Hist., 1885. 138. Iowa to Arkansas, very abundant. See Jordan & Gilbert,
