L'Able atong6 (Leuciscus elongalus, Val.), Cuv. et Val., xvii. p. 494. 



This species is called elongalus by Valenciennes, in the seventeenth volume of the " His- 

 toire Naturelle des Poissons," but as that name has previously been applied by Kirtland to 

 a species from the West, I have felt compelled to change it here.
