Genus AMIURUS Eafinesque. 



75. AMIURUS NATALIS (Le 8.) Gill. 



Var. cupreus (Raf.). 



Bather abundant in Tennessee Eiver. Other species of this genus 

 are doubtless common ; but they have not been distinguished. 



Genus PELODICHTHYS Eafinesgue. 

 76. PELODICHTHYS OLIVARIS (Eaf.} Gill & Jor. 



Abundant in the channels of the larger streams. Several specimens 

 from the French Broad. 



This species probably occurs in the channels of all the streams men- 

 tioned in this paper ; but, from its habits, it is not easily taken with a 

 small net. 



Genus NOTURUS Eafinesque. 



77. NOTURUS ELEUTHERUS Jordan. 



Noturus cleutherus JORDAN (1877), Ann. Lye. Nat. Hist. N. Y. 372. 



The type-specimen of this species was from Big Pigeon Eiver, in 

 Cocke County, Tennessee, near its junction with the French Broad. 

 Many other specimens have since been obtained in Tar Eiver, North 

 Carolina.

Eels occur in Tennessee Eiver, though rather less abundantly than Ln 

 the streams farther south.
