ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE FISHES OF THE ALLEGHANY 

 REGION OF SOUTH CAROLINA, GEORGIA, AND TENNESSEE, 

 WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW OR LITTLE KNOWN SPECIES. 



BY DAVID S. JORDAN AND ALEMBERT W. BRAYTOX. 



This paper is based primarily on the collections made by the present 

 writers, assisted by Mr. C. n. Gilbert, and a party of students from 

 Butler University, during the past summer (1877), in various streams of 

 South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee. For the purpose of a more 

 complete discussion of questions of geographical distribution, the au- 

 thors have brought together, with their own observations, those previ- 

 ously made on the fish-fauna3 of the same streams by other writers, 

 especially the observations on the fishes of the Tennessee Basin by 

 Professor Agassiz * those on the fishes of the basins of the Santee t 

 (Catawba), Tennessee, J and Cumberland, || by Professor Cope, and en 

 the fishes of the Cumberland. Tennessee, Alabama, and Altamaha
