FISHES OF THE TENNESSEE BASIN. 63 



DOROSOMATUm 



Genus DOROSOMA Rafinesque. 

 35. DOROSOMA CEPEDIANUM HETERUBUM (Raf.) Jor. 

 The " Gizzard Shad " is abundant in the Lower Tennessee. 



SALMONIDJE. 



Genus SALVELINUS Richardson. 

 36. SALVELINUS FONTINALIS (Mitch-ill) Gill & Jor. 



This species occurs in abundance in Swannanoa River, at the foot of 

 Black Mountain, and in all clear tributaries of the French Broad in West- 

 ern Xorth Carolina. In Southwestern Virginia, it occurs in certain trib- 

 utaries of the Holston. In Rabun County, in Northeastern Georgia, it 

 abounds in the headwaters of the Little Tennessee. Professor Cope 

 states, on the authority of Dr. Hardy, of Asheville, that it " occurs in the 

 headwaters of the Chattahoochee, on the south slope of the Alleghanies, 

 in Georgia". 



Genus CAMPOSTOMA Agassiz. 

 37. CAMPOSTOMA ANOMALUM (Raf.) Ag. 

 Tar. prolixum Storer. 



Everywhere abundant. In the clear pools of the Swanuanoa River, 

 at the foot of Black Mountain, this fish is extremely abundant, and the 

 large specimens are brilliantly colored, so that they appear to be lumi- 

 nous or phosphorescent as one looks down on them through the crystal 

 water. 



Genus HYBORHYNCHUS Agassis. 

 38. HYBORHYNCHUS NOTATUS (Raf.) Agassiz. 



Numerous specimens from the Chickamauga River. These are nar- 

 rower-beaded than the common Western form (H. superciliosus Cope) 

 and want the barbel, which is usually distinct on the latter. It is not 

 improbable that we have two distinct species.
