No. 2,055, ^"^- N. S. P., cotype (type) of Alburnops plnui- 

 bcolus Cope. From Flint, a branch of the Saginaw, Michigan. 

 E. D. Cope. Also Nos. 2.056 to 2,061, A. N. S. P., cotypes, 

 with same data. 



Cope's account differs from the above as follows : head a 

 little over 4 to base of tail ; greatest depth 4 2/3 ; anterior 

 base of dorsal half way between base of caudal and end of 

 muzzle ; height of dorsal less than half length from its an- 

 terior base to base of caudal ; ventrals extending 2/3 way to 

 vent ; scales 39 in lateral line ; length 3 inches ; a brownish 

 caudal spot. Most of the other examples, however, more or 

 less agree.
