Erie basin in Erie County. Possibly the alleged A. nigricans (Le Sueur) 

 is not distinct from the present species. The late Dr. Bean says "Erie re- 

 ceives its supply of catfish from fishermen who operate in the lake from 

 Erie to Elk Creek, with set-lines during the summer months." A number 

 of catfish in the markets and fisheries at Erie were examined and all of the 

 fork-tailed forms were the spotted cat. All had the predorsal bony bridge 

 complete and but few were without spots. 



Ameiurus catus (Linnseus). White Cat. 

 Delaware basin in Bucks, (Brandywine Creek) Chester, Delaware and 

 (League Island) Philadelphia Counties. 

 Susqueharma basin in Lancaster and (Peach Bottom) York Counties. 



Ameiurus natalis (Le Sueur). Yellow Cat. 

 Only met with by me at Erie. Not found east of the Alleghanies in our 

 limits, though in the Ohio basin early recorded as far as Pittsburgh. ^
