394 NEW-YORK FAUNA. 
APPENDIX B. 
The Spotted Wrymouth (p. 63), has been recently discovered by the Rev. Mr. Linsley on 
the shores of Long Island sound, near Stratford, Connecticut. 
APPENDIX C. 
Under the article Mossbonker, (p. 260), I should have stated more correctly that a wagon 
load usually contains two thousand fish, and consequently that the number of these fish cap- 
tured at Bridgehampton amounted to 168,000. I take this occasion to add, that this fish is 
frequently known, on Long island, under the name of White-fish. 
APPENDIX D. 
Since the preceding sheets were printed, we have received the sixteenth volume of the 
Histoire Naturelle des Poissons, de MM. Cuvier et VatencienNes. In this volume we 
find a genus of Cyprinide, hitherto undescribed, from this country. 
GENUS GOBIO. Cuvier. 
Dorsal and anal short, and without spines. Pharyngeal teeth conic, feebly bent at their 
summits, and in two series. Barbels at the angles of the mouth. 
THE NIAGARA GUDGEON. 
GoBIo CATARACTE. 
Le Goujon des Cataractes. Cuv. et Vax. Hist. des Poissons, Vol. 16, p. 315, pl 483. 
Description. Body elongated and rounded. Height of the body half the length of the 
head, and one-eighth of the total length. Eye moderately large, and on the upper part of 
the cheek. Snout obtuse. Mouth beneath, with thick lips, but without a veil, as in the 
Catostomus. A barbel at each angle of the mouth, so small as to be perceived with difficulty. 
The dorsal, in the middle of its length, is small; caudal emarginate, and with rounded lobes ; 
anal rounded, and larger than the dorsal; ventrals small, but with large pectorals. D. 3.6; 
A. 2.6; C.19. Scales small, smooth, not striated, with seventy in a longitudinal series. 
Back deep grey, passing into plumbeous, and becoming silvery on the belly. Pectoral, dor- 
sal and caudal grey; ventrals and anal white. Length five inches. 
{Communicated to Cuvier by Milbert, from the Falls of Niagara.] 
As the name of Labeo oblongus has been applied by MM. Cuvier and Valenciennes to a 
species from Java, we propose to change our L. oblongus to elongatus.
