A specimen of this species, a female, was obtained at Corinth. An- 
other female was caught in a shallow branch of Catawba Creek whilst 
depositing her spawn, in company with the male. Another very young 
specimen was seined at Macon.

I obtained specimens of this Catfish from the Noxubee River at Macon; 
others have since been sent me from Enterprise, on the Chickasawha, 
by Mr. Warner.

Two Catfishes were purchased from a young negro, who had caught 
them in Sand Creek near Artesia. One of these, having a total length 
of 10 inches, I identify as above. It is, 1 have no doubt, Girard’s P. 
 ailurus, and if this is, as Professor Jordan in his “Synopsis of the 
Fresh Water Siluridze of the United States” affirms, identical with 
Thompson’s P. vulgaris, the latter name will be the proper one to employ. 
The discovery of this specimen reveals a much greater range south- 
ward in this species than was previously suspected. Hitherto it has 
not been known to occur further south than Saint Louis, and has been 
supposed to be peculiar to our northern lakes and rivers. 
The other Catfish purchased was— 
53. Amiurus melas (Raf.) Jord. & Copeland. (No. 27,462.) 
Amiurus melas, JORDAN, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus. No. 10, 89. 
One specimen from Sand Creek, Artesia, and two from Noxubee River 
at Macon.
