FISHES OP THE ALABAMA BASIN. 45 



Alabama Basin. These are: Xenisma stelliferum, Zygonectes guttatus, 

 Zygonectes hieroglyphicus, Hydroplilox xwnoctplialus, Hydropldox chroso- 



sj Codoma calUstia, Codoma trichroistia, Codoma ccendea, Codoma 

 stigmatura, Xotropis siiWhis^ Phenacobiits catostomus, Catostomus nigri- 

 cans ctovanus, and Myxostoma euryops. I exclude from this enumeration 

 one or two species recorded from the Black Warrior Biver, as it is 

 likely that the fauna of that stream will prove, in part at least, different. 



Certain common Northern or Western types, apparently absent in the 

 streams hitherto noticed, make their appearance in the waters of the 

 Alabama. Among these are Luxilus cornutus^ Notemigonm chrysoleucus, 

 Cltcenobryttiiff gulosus, Hyodon, Phenacobhis. etc. 



ETHEOSTOMATnm 



Genus PERCINA Haldeman. 

 1. PERCINA CAPRODES (Eaf.) Grd. 

 Abundant : precisely like Northern specimens. 



Genus HADROPTERUS Agassiz. 

 2. HADROPTERUS NIGROFASCIATUS Agassiz. 

 Abundant: first described from near Mobile. 



Genus ULOCENTRA Jordan, 

 3. ULOCENTRA STIGMA A Jordan, 



Boleosoma stigmcca JORDAN (1877), Ann. Lye. Nat. Hist. N. Y. 311. 



Common in clear water. This species also occurs in the streams of 

 Louisiana. 



Genus BOLEICHTHYS Girard. 



4. BOLEICHTHYS ELEGAXS Girard. 



Abundant in clear, weedy ponds. This may not be identical with 

 Girard's species, which was originally described from Texas. 



Genus STIZOSTETHIUM Eafinesque. 

 5. STIZOSTETHIUM SALMOXEOI Rafinesque. 



In the river-channels of the Oostanaula. We have had no opportu- 

 nity to examine specimens, and we are not sure that the Alabama fish 

 is the original salmoneum.
