ing rays, only latter are without small outer ones. Anal mem- 

 branes transparent slaty-gray. Pectoral translucent, base be- 

 coming dull orange and above largely dusky, also outer margin. 

 Upper margin of pectoral adipose-like, becoming dark on distal 

 portion. Ventral similar in color, only inner margin paler. In 

 preorbital region 3 large laterally-directed tubercles. Lower 

 lateral surface of caudal peduncle and posterosupraanal region 

 with a narrow, roughened or slightly tubercular area, largely 

 due to corrugated edges of scales. This extends back to caudal 

 fin. Tubercles all pale brownish. Length 7 inches. . This ex- 

 ample taken in a clear stream of running water in woodland, a 

 tributary of the Pensauken Creek near Pensauken, Burlington 

 county, April 28th, 1907. C. J. Hunt and H. W. Fowler. 



Color in life of a young example in the vittatus stage. Back 

 dusky medianly, this forming into a black line anteriorly, which 

 extends to eye, then along upper surface of snout to its tip, where 

 it also joins its fellow, and this a narrow median streak of pale 

 ground-color extends from upper surface of snout to dorsal, 

 though broader on cranium. Ground-color of upper surface of 

 body a ruddy terra-cotta tint. It occurs on each side of snout 

 above dark lateral band. From tip of snout to base of caudal 

 a jet-black lateral band, with a slight bluish tinge. Lower sur- 

 face of body bright silvery-white. Dorsal dusky, with a warm 

 tinge, or rather tinted with bright terra-cotta. Caudal deep red- 

 dish-terra-cotta color. Other fins transparent whitish. Lower 

 surface of caudal peduncle translucent. Iris silvery-white, with 

 a slightly ruddy tinge above. Length about 2 inches. Very 

 abundant May 12th, 1907, in the Rancocas Creek above New Lis- 

 bon, in Burlington county. The warm color of the back is in 

 agreement with the examples found in the Great Egg Harbor

 Delaware. 



Young were very abundant in the pond at Turnersville, in the 

 south branch of Big Timber Creek, in Gloucester county, May 

 19th, 1907. Though less abundant than Notropis chalybcEiis, they 

 were more so than Abramis. They were pale, like Bristol and 

 Trenton examples, not reddish on their backs, and have the dark
