  For 
  description 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  see 
  Proc. 
  U. 
  S. 
  Nat. 
  Mus., 
  1885. 
  The 
  original 
  types 
  

   of 
  N. 
  illecebrosus 
  closely 
  resemble 
  those 
  of 
  N. 
  blennius, 
  differing 
  especially 
  in 
  the 
  

   form 
  of 
  the 
  anterior 
  suborbital 
  which 
  is 
  in 
  this 
  species 
  very 
  narrow. 
  The 
  snout 
  is 
  

   less 
  convex 
  than 
  in 
  N. 
  blcnnius. 
  Abundant 
  in 
  Western 
  Arkansas. 
  We 
  are 
  unable 
  to 
  

   find 
  Girard's 
  type 
  of 
  Alburnops 
  shumardi, 
  and 
  regard 
  that 
  species 
  as 
  doubtfully 
  a 
  syn- 
  

   onym 
  of 
  A. 
  illecebrosus.

  *Moniana 
  nitida 
  Girard, 
  Proc. 
  Ac. 
  Nat. 
  ScL, 
  Phila., 
  1856, 
  201, 
  eroncously 
  referred, 
  in 
  

   the 
  Synopsis 
  (p. 
  175), 
  to 
  the 
  synonymy 
  of 
  Notropis 
  deliciosus. 
  From 
  the 
  latter 
  species 
  

   Girard's 
  types 
  differ 
  mainly 
  in 
  the 
  larger, 
  more 
  oblique, 
  and 
  less 
  inferior 
  mouth. 
  The 
  

   following 
  description 
  is 
  from 
  the 
  original 
  type, 
  from 
  Cadereita, 
  Nuevo 
  Leon: 
  

  

  Head, 
  3f 
  ; 
  depth, 
  of; 
  D. 
  8; 
  A. 
  7; 
  scales, 
  5-32-4. 
  Body, 
  stout, 
  rather 
  deep; 
  eye, 
  

   smallish, 
  3£ 
  in 
  head; 
  about 
  equal 
  to' 
  snout, 
  and 
  about 
  >, 
  less 
  that 
  interorbital 
  

   area, 
  which 
  is 
  quite 
  flat; 
  margin 
  of 
  upper 
  lip 
  on 
  level 
  with 
  pupil; 
  mouth 
  rather 
  

   large, 
  oblique 
  ; 
  snout 
  little 
  pointed; 
  maxillary 
  reaching 
  slightly 
  past 
  vertical 
  from 
  

   front 
  of 
  orbit, 
  its 
  length 
  about 
  3J 
  in 
  head; 
  lower 
  jaw 
  shorter 
  than 
  upper, 
  included 
  

   when 
  the 
  mouth 
  is 
  closed; 
  origin 
  of 
  dorsal 
  slightly 
  nearer 
  tip 
  of 
  snout 
  than 
  base 
  of 
  

   caudal; 
  about 
  12 
  scales 
  in 
  front 
  of 
  dorsal; 
  tips 
  of 
  rays 
  of 
  dorsal 
  all 
  coterminous 
  

   when 
  the 
  fin 
  is 
  deflexed 
  ; 
  length 
  of 
  longest 
  ray 
  of 
  dorsal 
  1A 
  in 
  head; 
  base 
  of 
  fin 
  

   scarcely 
  2 
  in 
  head; 
  anal 
  similar 
  to 
  dorsal 
  ; 
  longest, 
  ray 
  2 
  in 
  head; 
  base, 
  3 
  in 
  head; 
  

   pectorals 
  reaching 
  f 
  distance 
  to 
  ventrals, 
  If 
  in 
  head 
  ; 
  ventrals 
  reaching 
  £ 
  distance 
  

   to 
  anal, 
  If 
  in 
  head; 
  teeth, 
  4-4, 
  little 
  hooked; 
  color, 
  brownish, 
  a 
  faint 
  silvery 
  band 
  

   along 
  sides, 
  little 
  wider 
  than 
  diameter 
  of 
  eye, 
  a 
  very 
  small 
  faint 
  dark 
  spot 
  at 
  base 
  of 
  

   caudal 
  ; 
  tins 
  all 
  plain.

  "'The 
  types 
  of 
  Moniana 
  dcliciosa 
  Girard, 
  Proc. 
  Acad. 
  Nat. 
  Sci. 
  Pbila., 
  1856, 
  199, 
  are 
  

   identical 
  with 
  the 
  species 
  described 
  in 
  the 
  Synopsis 
  as 
  Cliola 
  missuriensis. 
  This 
  form 
  

   differs 
  from 
  N. 
  stramineus 
  Cope 
  only 
  in 
  the 
  somewhat 
  greater 
  size 
  of 
  the 
  scales, 
  there 
  

   being 
  32 
  to 
  35 
  in 
  the 
  lateral 
  line 
  in 
  deliciosus, 
  34 
  to 
  38 
  in 
  N. 
  stramineus. 
  The 
  latter, 
  in 
  

   our 
  view, 
  represents 
  a 
  slight 
  variety 
  found 
  from 
  Wisconsin 
  to 
  Tennessee, 
  the 
  true 
  

   deliciosus 
  ranging 
  from 
  Iowa 
  to 
  Texas. 
  

  

  Uubojisis 
  longiceps 
  Cope, 
  from 
  Virginia, 
  appears 
  also 
  to 
  represent 
  a 
  slight 
  variety 
  of 
  

   N. 
  deliciosus, 
  with 
  a 
  more 
  distinct 
  dark 
  lateral 
  stripe, 
  a 
  rather 
  longer 
  prcorbital 
  region 
  

   and 
  slightly 
  higher 
  fins. 
  Cope's 
  type 
  had 
  the 
  scales 
  5-33-2. 
  A 
  specimen 
  from 
  Fair- 
  

   fax, 
  Va.,

  The 
  identification 
  of 
  Rafincsque's 
  Hinnilua 
  microstomus 
  is 
  too 
  

   uncertain 
  to 
  warrant 
  the 
  use 
  of 
  his 
  name. 
  

  

  Hubopsis 
  volucellus 
  Cope 
  is 
  unknown 
  to 
  me. 
  It 
  will 
  probably 
  prove 
  to 
  represent 
  a 
  

   variety 
  of 
  A", 
  deliciosus 
  with 
  rather 
  higher 
  fins 
  than 
  usual.

  gilbcrti 
  Jordan

  Meek, 
  Proc.

  1684. 
  It 
  is 
  abundant 
  with 
  

   N. 
  deliciosus 
  in 
  the 
  streams 
  of 
  Iowa, 
  Kansas, 
  and 
  Missouri. 
  From 
  the 
  latter 
  it 
  is 
  readily 
  

   distinguished 
  by 
  the 
  smaller 
  eyo 
  and 
  soiled 
  coloration.
