330 Fishes of Upper Georgia. 



around the nose; depth 5 in length; teeth 1, 4-4, 1. 

 Habitat. Etowah River, Black Warrior River (water 

 basin of Alabama River), Tennessee River. . wixchelli. 



Head narrowest; eye moderate, 3£ in head, less than the inter- 

 orbital space, which is narrow and long, the snout pro- 

 jecting considerably; mouth smallest, lower jaw rather 

 more lengthened; barbels quite long; face rosy in sum- 

 mer males, and the snout provided with small tubercles ; 

 body stoutest, depth 4£ in length; color quite pale, with 

 a leaden band along the sides, teeth 1, 4-4, 0. Habitat. 

 Ocmulgee River. rubrifrons.* 



The variety winchelli is abundant in all tributaries of the 

 Etowah, Coosa, and Oostanaula, where it shares with other 

 small minnows the name of Roach. Girard's original speci- 

 mens were from the Black Warrior. His description applies 

 perfectly to my specimens. The reference of the species to 

 Hybopsis arose from a misunderstanding of the characters 

 of that genus. Prof. Cope identifies my specimens of jV. 

 winchelli with his C. hyalinus, and considers the northern 

 form (N. ambhps) as specifically distinct, f C. hypsinotus 

 Cope, and C. labrosus Cope, are undoubtedly good species. 

 The latter, from the backward position of the dorsal, is 

 probably to be referred to Apocope. 



* Ifocomis rubrifrons sp. nov. 



Head rather long ami comparatively narrow and pointed, the snout unusually pro- 

 jecting. Head 4 in length; eye moderate, 3J to 3£ in head, less than the interorbital 

 space. Depth 4J in length. Barbels quite long and distinct. Scales large, dotted 

 above, 36 in the course of the lateral line, 13 in front of the dorsal. Fins moderate, the 

 first rays of the dorsal generally twice the height of the last. 



D.,1,8. A., I, 7. 



General color pale olivaceous; sides with a plumbeous band, sometimes dark and 

 passing through the eyes, more usually pale. Snout in many specimens of a pale pink 

 or reddish color, thickly covered with very minute, dust-like tubercles; teeth in 6 

 specimens (all examined) 1, 4-t, 0. 



Length, 3 inches. 



Habitat. South fork of Ocmulgee River, at Flat Rock, Dekalb Co., Ga. 



f Since the above was in type, renewed examination has convinced me that Prof. 

 Cope's view is the correct one, and that amblops, winchelli, a.ndrubrifrons ave to be con- 

 sidered as distinct species.
