THE FISH FAUNA OF NORTH CAROLINA. 21 



In the foregoing table the species are arranged systematically under the 

 names herein used; there are also shown the name under which each species was 

 first described, the type locality, the person by whom named, and the date 

 when the species was established. 



Of the species here listed, 21 were described by Professor Cope, the pioneer 

 ichthyologist of North Carolina and the most voluminous writer on North Caro- 

 lina fishes; many of Cope's species have not been met with by other collectors 

 and are therefore known only from Cope's descriptions and types. 



FISHES FOUND ONLY IN NORTH CAROLINA. 



Of the fishes originally described from North Carolina, the following 18 

 have as yet been found in no other state, although it is likely that in time some 

 of both the fresh-water and salt-water species will be noted in other states. 



Schilbeodes furibsus (Jordan & Meek). Notropis brimleyi Bean. 



Moxostoma collapsum (Cope). Notropis chili ticiis (Cope). 



Moxostoma pidiense (Cope). Notropis altipinnis (Cope). 



Moxostoma coregonus (Cope). Notropis umbratilis matutinus (Cope). 



Moxostoma album (Cope). Fundulus rathbuni Jordan & Meek. 



Moxostoma thalassinum (Cope) . Cypsekirus lutkeni (Jordan & Evermann). 



Moxostoma robustum (Cope). Boleosoma maculaticeps Cope. 



Moxostoma crassilabre (Cope). Etheostoma swannanoa Jordan & Evermann. 



Moxosfoma con us (Cope). Microgobius holmesi Smith. 



FISHES NOT PREVIOUSLY RECORDED FROM NORTH CAROLINA WATERS. 



In the inquiries and mvestigations on which the present work is based, 

 there have been obtained records of numerous species of fishes which have not 

 hitherto been noted as occurring in North Carolina in the very considerable 

 ichthyologic literature of the state. Most of these species are marine, and most 

 of them have been added to the local famia as a result of the collections at Beau- 

 fort by the United States Biu-eau of Fisheries. The list, which includes 59 salt- 

 water species and 10 fresh-water and anadromous species, is as follows: 



Salt-waier Fishes: 



Hexanchus griseus Scomberomorus cavalla 



Catulus uter Istiophorus nigricans 



Squatina squatina Tetrapturus albidus 



Rhinobatus lentiginosus Oligoplites saurus 



Raia eglanteria Caranx ruber 



Bascanichthys scuticaris Trachinotus glaucus 



Lycodontis ocellatus Trachinotus goodei 



Anchovia mitchilli Psenes maculatus 



Chlorophthalmus chalybeius Epinephelus striatus 



Hemirhamphus brasiliensis Mycteroperca venenosa 



Auxis thazard Mycteroperca bonaci 



Gymnosarda alleterata Diplectrum formosum 



Sarda sarda Lobotes surinamensis
