FISHES OF THE SANTEE BASIN. 15 



Genus ETHEOSTOMA Eafinesque. 

 4. ETHEOSTOMA FLABELLARE Raf. 



(Catonotus Jlabellatus Auct.) 



Three specimens doubtfully referred to this species were obtained by 

 Professer Cope in the Catawba River. 



CENTRARCHID^E. 



Genus MICROPTERUS Lacepede. 

 5. MICROPTERUS PALLIDUS (Rafincsque) Gill & Jordan. 



Professor Cope obtained this species in the Catawba. We collected 

 none in the Saluda or Euuoree, but we were told that u Trout", as the 

 species of Microptertut are universally called in the South, are frequentl3~ 

 taken there. 



Genus CILENOBRYTTUS Gill. 



G. CH^NOBRYTTUS VIRIDIS (Guv. & Val.} Jordan. 



The War-mouth Perch occurs in abundance in the Saluda, and appar- 

 ently in all the South Atlantic streams. Cope says that it is exceedingly 

 common in all the streams of Eastern North Carolina, and that it is 

 known as the Red-eyed Bream on the Catawba. This species is very 

 closely related to C. gulosus, differing chiefly in the color and in the 

 somewhat less robust form. It may be only a variety. 



Genus LEPIOPOMUS Eafinesque. 

 7. LEPIOPOMUS AURITUS (Linnaeus) Raf. 



All my specimens of this species from the Saluda have a dusky blotch 

 or bar at the base of the soft dorsal, a feature of coloration not shown by 

 my Northern specimens. This is a widely diffused species, and, like most 

 such, is quit 1 , variable. 



Genus EUPOMOTIS GUI &* Jordan. 

 8. EUPOMOTIS AUREUS (Walbaum) Gill & Jordan. 



Professor Cope obtained this species in Catawba River. We have 

 never collected it in the Southern States. It is probably chiefly con- 

 lined to the lowland regions.
