Bloomington, Ind., November 10, 1880. 
ON A COLLECTION OF FISHES FROM EASTERN MIUSSISSIPPE.* 
By 0. P. HAY. 
The collection of fishes which it is the object of the present paper to 
describe was made almost wholly by the author, while on a trip along 
the eastern side of the State of Mississippi, during the latter part of 
March and the early part of April of the present year, 1880. 
The route 
taken was along the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, and extended from 
Corinth, near the northern line of the State, to Shubuta, a town about 
one hundred miles north of Mobile. Stops were made along this line of 
The conditions for col- 
travel of from a few hours to four or five days.
