Two of these tliree species are from Missouri Basin localities, viz: 

 ClioJa (Hybopsis) topeka {=Notropis topeka) from Shunganunga Creek, 

 Topeka (type, No. 36609, U. S. N. M., coll. Prof. F. W. Cragin), and 

 Minnilus (Lythrurus) nigripinnis (=]\ r otropis urnbratilis urnbratilis), also 

 from Shunganunga Creek, Topeka (type, No. 3G613, coll. Prof. Cragin). 

 The first publication of these names was really in the preceding paper.

 and Missouri in August, 1884, with descriptions of three new species. 

 <rroc. U. S. Nat. Mus. 1885, 1-17. 



The explorations upon which this paper was based were carried on 

 during August, 1884, under the auspices of the United States National 

 Museum and the United States Fish Commission. The field work was 

 under the direction of Dr. Jordan, assisted by Mr. Meek. 



Collections were made in the Missouri Basin at the following places: 



(a) At Bedford, Taylor County, Iowa, from the east fork of Hundred and Two River, 

 and at Marysville, Nodaway County, Mo., from Hundred and Two River. 



(h) At St. Joseph, Mo., from Missouri River on the Kansas shore opposite the city. 



(c) About 6 miles east of Lexington, Lafayette County, Mo., from Taho Creek, a 

 small tributary of the Missouri. 



(<7) At Brownsville, Saline County, Mo., from Blackwater Creek, and near Sedalia, 

 Pettis County, Mo., from Flat Creek. Both of these creeks arc small tributaries 

 of La Mine River, which flows into the Missouri northeast of Sedalia. 



(e) At Clinton, Henry County, Mo., from Grand River, and at Calhoun, in the same 

 county, from Tabo Creek, a small tributary of Grand River. Grand River flows 

 into the Osage River at Warsaw, a few miles southeast of Clinton, and the latter 

 stream unites with the Missouri just below Jefl'erson City.
