Notes on a Collection of Fishes of Dubois County, Indiana. W. .J. 



MOENKHAUS. 



The following list of fishes is offered as a slight addition to our knowledge of 

 the fishes of Indiana. The list is based on a collection made during the second 

 -week in September, 1893, in Patoka River and Short Creek near Huntingburg. 

 Dubois County, Indiana. It has been withheld from publication thus long be-

 been made only near its mouth, at the city of Patoka, by .Jordan and Evermann. 

 some years ago. (.Jordan, Bull. U. S. Fish Com. YIII, 1890).

 and through the middle of Dubois, Pike and Gibson counties, emptying into the 

 Wabash a few miles south of the mouth of the White River. In the vicinity of 

 Huntingburg where it was fished, the channel is from 75 to 100 yards in width. 

 The stream is evervwhere obstructed along the banks and ofttimes entirely across
