The Blue Cat or Channel Cat is taken in considerable 

 numbers in the Etowah and Oostanaula. A large specimen, 

 procured of a fisherman, does not differ obviously from oth- 

 ers from the French Broad and the "Wabash.

This species abounds in the deeper and more muddy trib- 

 utaries of the Etowah and Oostanaula. Most of my speci- 

 mens were taken in Beech Creek. They do not differ obvi- 

 ously from specimens from the Illinois River. It is known 

 locally as Yellow Cat.
