Rhinichthys cataracte dulcis Girard (R. maaillosus Cope). Sweet- 
water Dace. Tierra Amarilla, Abiquiu, San Ildefonso, and 
Taos. 
Hybopsis xstwalis (Girard) (Ceratichthys sterletus Cope). THorny- 
head. San Ildefonso. 
Anguilla rostrata (Le Sueur) (A. tyrannus Girard). Fresh-water 
Kel. Near Santa Fe. 
They also report Salmo pleuriticus Cope from Rio Taos, Chama 
River, and near San Ildefonso, but as this species seems to be con- 
fined to the Colorado River basin the record is probably a mistake. 
There are perhaps other fishes existing in the Rio Grande drainage 
of northern New Mexico, but we have found no record of them. 
The species are mostly small and of little food value. There are 
rumors of catfish, but no definite record. 
The Tewa have the following names for species of fish: 
Pinpa’, ‘mountain fish’ (pi-y, mountain; pa’, fish). This name 
seems to be applied to any species of trout. 
Pa‘tsi‘jo’, ‘knife fish’ (pa-, fish; tst-jo", knife). This fish lives in 
the Rio Grande. It has a knife-like back, and there is also a knife- 
like projection at each side of its lower jaw. It reaches a length 
exceeding a foot. 
Pa'wa‘p‘a’, ‘flat-chested fish’ (pa’, fish; wa*, chest, breast; p‘a-, 
flat and roundish). This fish lives in the Rio Grande and attains 
a length of 2 feet or more. Its underside is flat. 
Tsewige. This fish lives in the Rio Grande. White men in talking 
to our informants had ealled this fish a “sucker.” 
Pa‘tuywe’, ‘tall fish’ (pa, fish; tuypwe’, tall). This fish lives in the 
Rio Grande. The Mexicans call it boquinete. 
Pa’’e*, ‘little fish’ (pa’, fish; ’e-, diminutive). This term is applied 
to any een fish, especially to Saar and the like; also to the 
young of larger varieties of fish, which often can not be roconaied as 
they can when more mature. 
Pa’ oqui*, ‘phlegm fish’ (pa, fish; ’oqwi-, mucus from the trachea, 
bronchial tubes, or lungs, such as is Eoushed up). This name is applied 
to any species af eel. The skin of the pa’ oqui: is highly prized and 
is used among other purposes for leggings and moccasins. The fish 
lives in the Rio Grande. 
It is said that the kinds of fish which live in the Rio Grande would 
probably also be found in the Rio Chama. 
INSECTS 
Notwithstanding their average small size, when compared with 
vertebrates, insects are very important from the point of view of 
natural history. Their interesting habits, their economic relations
