Fishes of Upper Georgia. 357 



For a comparison with other species of Photogenis, see Part 

 I of this paper. 



5. ERIMYZON OBLONGUS (Mitchill) Jordan. 



6. MYXOSTOMA DUQUESNII (Le Sueur) Jordan. 



7. ICHTH^LURUS PUNCTATUS (Rafinesque) Jordan. 

 This species is extremely abundant in Nancy's Creek, 



where we took two or three quite large specimens. In the 

 north I have never seen it outside of the river channels, and 

 hence its name of Channel Cat. Possibly the southern fish 

 is different, but if so, the distinctions have escaped my no- 

 tice. My specimens are very pale and silvery. 



Part III. Ocmulgee River. 



Our collections in this stream were made in the South 

 Fork, or South River, at Flat Shoals (Flat Rock P. O.). 

 in Dekalb Co., some 16 miles south-east of Atlanta. At 

 this point the river flows down an inclined plane on a bed of 

 granite, and as its banks have been cleared in the immediate 

 neighborhood of the "Shoals," it offers excellent advantages 

 for small seining. Our work was confined to one point, as 

 the river is thickly wooded above and below, and therefore 

 full of snags. 



All the species obtained here were exceedingly pale in 

 color, probably owing in some way to the character of the 

 water or the bottom. In a general way, the fauna is very 

 similar to that reported by Prof. Cope, from the Catawba. 

 The apparent absence of Luxilus cornutus is noteworthy. Of 

 course the sixteen species which we obtained form but a small 

 part of the number of fishes which occur in the basin of the 

 Ocmulgee. 



1. HADROPTERUS NIGROFASCIATUS Agassiz.
