 This species was described from three specimens (No. 368S2, U. S.

 Laboratory of Natural History, yoI. i, No. 1, 10-16, September, 1884. 



In 1883 the Washburn College laboratory of natural history (Topeka, 

 Kans.) began a biological survey of the State of Kansas, under Prof. 

 Francis W. Cragin, director, at that time professor of natural history 

 in Washburn College. The fishes, which were collected chiefly by Pro- 

 fessor Cragin and his students and by Dr. Watson, of Ellis, Kans., 

 were studied by Dr. Gilbert. This paper and three others published in 

 1885, 1886, and 1889, respectively, contain the results of his examination 

 of the different collections.
