FISHES OF THE SANTEE BASIN. 27 



32. MYXOSTOMA ALBUM (Cope] J. & B. 



Pfychostomus albus COPE (1870), Proc. Am. Phil. Soc. 472. 



The species the " White Mullet" was found by Professor Cope in 

 the Catawba Eiver only. We obtained no specimens from the Saluda, 

 which is perhaps due to the fact that our collections were not made 

 during the season of the migrations. 



Genus ERIMYZON Jordan. 



(Hixostoma Agassiz, but not of Raf.) 



33. ERIMYZON sue ETTA (Lac.) Jordan. 



Cypritnis sucetta LACEPEDE. 

 C'yprinus oblongus MITCHILL. 



This species is moderately abundant in the Saluda River. Professor 

 Cope found neither this species, nor the next, in the Catawba. 



Genus MINYTREMA Jordan. 



34. MINYTREMA MELANOPS (Raf.) Jor. 



Catostomus melanops RAFIXESQUE, KIRTLAND, etc. 

 Atoxostoma victories GIRARD. 

 Erimyzon melanops JORDAN. 



This widely diffused species is abundant in the mill-ponds, etc., of the 

 Saluda Eiver, and is known as the Striped Sucker. It is considerably 

 valued as a food-fish. Many specimens were taken at Bannister's Mills, 

 on the Ennoree, the proprietor of the mill, Mr. Bannister, having 

 kindly drawn oft' the water from his pond, in order to enable us better 

 to examine its fishes. Our specimens seem to be precisely like the ordi- 

 nary melanops from the Ohio River and the Great Lakes. 



Genus CATOSTOMUS Le Sneiir. 

 35. CATOSTOMUS COMMEESONI (Lac.) Jor. 



The Fine-scaled Sucker is common in the Saluda, as in nearly every 

 stream east of the Rocky Mountains. It is especially abundant in mill- 

 ponds.
