A CENTURY OF ZOOLOGY IN INDIANA. 209 



Carl H. Eigenmann 



(Flehingen, Germany, March 9, 1863 ) 



Dr. Eigenmann of the Indiana University contingent, is one of the most 

 able and productive of American iehtliyologists. He has been and still is, 

 indefatigable in ichthyologieal investigation; his list of publications embraces 

 more than 150 titles, many of them important monographs. During his 

 long residence in Indiana he has naturally given much attention to the fish 

 fauna of the state. He first studied the fishes of Bean Blossom Creek and 

 he and Morton W. Fordice published an interesting paper on the results. 

 They list 40 species, 32 of which were obtained in a single day's collecting. 

 Among Dr. Eigenmann's more important papers that relate directly to the 

 zoology of Indiana are those giving the results of his studies of cave faunas. 

 It may be doubted if any phase of American zoology has been more compre- 

 hensively or satisfactorily studied than this by Dr. Eigenmann and his 

 student assistants. 



Barton Warren Evermann 



The present writer (Monroe Co., Iowa, Oct. 24, 1853 ), who also 



sat at Dr. Jordan's feet at Indiana University and there received inspiration, 

 has published more than 200 articles, reports and books on various natural his- 

 tory subjects, chiefly fishes and birds. Ma.ny of the fish papers were as junior 

 author with Dr. Jordan. In 1882 to 1886 he explored the streams of Carroll 

 and Howard counties and, jointly with Dr. .Jenkins, published an annotated 

 list of the species of fishes obtained. In 1886 to 1891 he studied the fish 

 fauna of Vigo County. In 1888, with the assistance of Charles H. Bollman, 

 he collected the fishes of southwestern Indiana, and with Albert J. Woolman 

 (then one of his students) he examined St. Joseph River at South Bend and 

 Mishawaka, Yellow River at Plymouth, Lake Maxinkuckee, Eel and Wabash 

 rivers at Logansport, and Deer Creek at Camden. The results of these in- 

 vestigations were set forth in a paper published by Dr. Jordan. In 1899 to 

 1913, as a part of the survey of Lake Maxinkuckee, much attention was given 

 to the fishes by Dr. Evermann, Mr. H. Walton Clark and Dr. Scovell, with the 

 result that more is now known of the fishes of that lake than of any similar 

 body of water in America. The total number of species of fishes known to 

 inhal)it Lake Maxinkuckee is 63, a much larger number than has been found 

 in any other lake, even of much greater size, anywhere in the world. The 

 report on this work has been completed and is now awaiting publication. 

 He has also published reports on the food-fishes of Indiana (junior 

 author with Dr. Jordan), two new darters {Elheostoma miheenauhei and 

 Hadropterus maxinkuckiensis) from Lake Maxinkuckee, a new shad {Alosa 

 ohiensis) from the Ohio River, with notes on the other food-fishes of that 

 river, a list of the fishes known from the Great Lakes, and a list of the 

 fishes of Franklin County, Indiana. He is also junior author with Dr.
