Genus: CLIOLA. 
Cliola vigilax (Baird and Girard). 
Head 4%; depth 4%; eye 3%. D.8; A. 7; scales 8-42-6, about 28 
before dorsal; teeth 4-4, with grinding surface and slight hook. Superfici- 
ally, much resembling Pimephales notatus, but the form is more stout, the 
mouth more terminal, and the alimentary canal less than twice the length 
of the body. Caudal peduncle quite deep. Color, greenish, sides pale, 
darker above, the scales above dark-edged; a dark lateral band ending in a 
distinct caudal spot; a well defined black spot on anterior rays of dorsal. 
Length 3 inches. 
This minnow has, to the best of my knowledge, been recorded 
from but two localities in the state. It has been taken by Hen- 
shall in Hamilton County, ‘‘ common in O’ Bannon creek,’’ and a 
single specimen was taken in Big Walnut creek, Franklin County, 
by Mr. E. B. Williamson and the writer in 1897. It is probably 
common nowhere in the state except in the southwestern part, as 
its range is for the most part farther south and west.
