" The namp Notropis ntherinoiden was Rivpn by Uaflne.sque to a small and very slender minnow from 

 Lake Y.tw. It was ar)parently a semi-dried example havinK therefore a ridue on the l)a(k a.s implied in 

 the name Sotropit. It had a long anal fin of 11 rays, and the dorsal inserted b'hind the vontrals. .\ming 

 the small minnows of the (Ireat Lakes it coulfl hardly be anything else than riihrllii.i; yet Ihe original do- 

 ••icription is very ineomi)lete ami jHThaps not identifiable. .\s this is the oldest name for any of the small 

 .\merican minn iws with four teeth in the main row of the [)harvnKeals, and as distinctions of genera among 

 these is e.speeially difTicult, the writers in lM»,i extended the name to include them all. Hut thi-; assemblage 

 is hardly a natural one, as the species diverge in various directions. Hence, in this catalogue the former 

 subgenera are given generic rank.
