COPEIA 55 



7. Not ro pis procne (Cope). Abundant, and 

 of rich coloration. Five examples, 27 to 39 mm. 

 long. 



8. Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus. Abundant in the 

 Big Peedee River. Many seen breaking water along 

 the shore. 



9. Anguilla rostrata (Le Sueur). Abundant. 

 Six small examples, 96 to 130 mm. taken in dip-net, 

 and many larger ones with hook and line. 



10. Esooc a in erica mis Gmelin. Abundant, and 

 of remarkably brilliant coloration. Ten examples, 

 27 to 1(5.5 mm. long. 



11. Esooc reticulatus Le Sueur. Common. 

 Two examples 42 and 118 mm. long. 



12. Fundulus nottii (Agassiz). Abundant. 

 Seven examples 49 to 71 mm. long. Females with 

 eggs (about 2 mm. in diameter) nearly ripe. 



13. Gambusia affinis (Baird & Girard). Abun- 

 dant. Numerous examples, 26 to 47 mm. long. 



14. Chologaster corn n I us Agassiz. Six exam- 

 ples of tin's interesting species were taken, all in drifts 

 of submerged dead leaves at the foot of sand-bars or 

 in shallow indentations of the bank. Associated with 

 this species in such places were numerous larval sala- 

 manders, and the resemblance of the two, in shape, 

 color and movement, was striking. Four males, 34 

 to 40 mm. long, and two females 38 and 41 mm. long, 

 were secured. The females contained large yellow 

 eggs, 1 to 1% mm. in diameter, which appeared to be 

 nearly ripe. 



This fish moves in short wriggling dashes of as- 

 tonishing rapidity from hiding place to hiding place. 

 One example survived a trying journey to Wash- 

 ington, where it is now living in a small aquarium. 



15. Aphredoderus say anus (Gilliams). Abun- 

 dant. Seventeen examples 32 to 73 mm. long. Two 

 females, .57 and 73 mm. with eggs nearly ripe. The 

 rest, all under 42 mm. in length, were immature.
