 Genus CH.EXOBRYTTUS, Gill.

 (M. V. 237; Nelson, 37.) ' " 



Rather common. Very abundant in southern Illinois. Prof. 

 Forbes has specimens from Illinois River, and I have taken it in 

 Lake Michigan, and in lakes of Northern Indiana tributary to 

 Wabash River. Mackinaw Cr.; Big L., Jackson Co. 



Genus APOMOTIS, Rafinesque.

 Calumet R., Illinois R., Cache R., mud-holes on bottoms in Un- 

 ion Co. and Johnson Co., Effingham Co., all small streams in 

 McLean Co.; Fountain Bluff, Jackson Co.

 Tdipomus nephelus Nelson, 37.) 



Not very common : 1 have one specimen from Illinois River 

 and several from White River in Indiana. 



35. *LepiopomasanagalUnusQiO^Q. Red-spotted SuN-FlSH. (M.V. 240.) 



Salt River, Ky., where it is abundant. Not yet noticed from 

 Illinois, although it doubtless occurs in the state. 



36. Lepiopomus palUdus (Mit.) Gill & Jordan. Blue Sun-fish, Cop- 

 per-nosed Bream. (M. V. 241: Iclitlielis incisor and I. speciosus 

 Nelson, 37.1 



The most abundant of the sun-fishes. Crystal Lake, Illinois 

 River, Calumet R., L. Michigan, Wabash River, Quincy. 



37. Lepiopomus isclu/rus Jordan & Nelson. ( M. V. 241; Ichfhelis aqui- 

 lensis Nelson, 37.) 



The two original types of this species are all yet known — the one 

 in the Illinois State Laboratory from Illinois River, the other in Mr. 

 son's collection from Calumet River. Renewed examination of Nel- 

 the former specimen has convinced me of its distinctness from L. 



p)alli<his. The type specimen has palatine teeth, unlike L. 



paVidus. Pomotis aquilensis Girard is Xenofis breviceps, a Texas 

 species.
