Notropis volucellus (Cope). 
Head 334; depth 4; eye 3%. D. 8; A. 8; scales 4-34-3; teeth 4-4. Fins 
more elongate than in related species, the pectorals reaching ventrals. Very 
similar to WV. dlennius, but distinguished especially by the noticeably higher 
fins. Length 2% inches. 
The only record Iam able to find of the occurrence of this 
species in Ohio is that given by Kirsch in his ‘‘ Report upon 
Investigations in the Maumee River System,’’ in which he men- 
tions the fact that specimens from Gordon creek, taken by Prof. 
S. E. Meek, are given him as Wotropsis delictosus var. volucella 
Cope. Cope’s volucellus is now regarded as a distinct species. 
Notropis shumardi (Girard). 
Head 334; depth 41; eye very large, 24% to 3 in head. D. 8; A. 7 or 8; 
scales 4 or 5-36-2 to 4, 13 in front of dorsal; teeth 1, 4-4, 1, with deep grind- 
ing surface, and the edge strongly crenate. Body compressed, the back 
elevated; tail slender. Head compressed, flattened above, below and on the 
sides; snout short, obtuse; mouth very oblique, terminal, lower jaw included. 
Fins large. Lateral line complete, decurved. Color, olivaceous above, pale 
below; a dark lateral band, and vertebral line; scales above dark-edged. 
Length 3 inches. 
Recorded by Kirsch as JV. doops Gilbert, ‘‘common in the 
Maumee river at Grand Rapids,’’ and ‘‘ five specimens from the
