Subgenus CLINOSTOMUS, Girard. 

 377. LEUCISCUS YANDOISULUS, Cuvier & Valenciennes. 



Head 3f; depth 3f to 4, the largest specimens most elongate, the 

 females deeper; eye moderate, 3|. D. 9; A. 8; lateral line 48 to 53; teeth 

 2, 5-5, or 4, 2. Body oblong, deep, and compressed. Head rather large. 

 Mouth large, oblique, the lower jaw projecting, the mandible extending 

 to the pupil. Lateral line decurved. Color bluish green ; some of the 

 scales of the back irregularly darker, producing a mottled appearance ; 

 a dark lateral band with a pale streak above it in the adult ; young: 

 nearly plain ; males in spring with the region behind the head and above 

 the pectorals as far back as the anal of a bright rose-red, brightest anteri- 

 orily. Length 5 inches. Streams about Chesapeake bay to Georgia; 

 abundant in the clear, swift brooks east of the Alleghany Mountains; 

 also (as L. estor) in tributaries of the Tennessee and Cumberland, west of 

 the mountains . ( vandoise, French name of the Dace , Leuciscus leuciscus. )

* The following characters are assigned to the form called lateralis : Body slendererand less com- 

 pressed than in It. baltealus. Mouth moderate, terminal, oblique; jaws equal. Anal base 5% in 

 length. Blackish above; a dark lateral band; the interspace and belly pale, crimson in Bales in 

 summer. Head 4%; depth 3% to 4. D. 10; A. 14: scales 13-55-6; teeth 2, 6-5, 2. Columbia 

 River and streams about Puget Sound. It apparently fully intergrades with the preceding, the 

 anal rays ranging from 11 to 22. The riame Leuciscus lateralis is preoccupied, and this form, if dis- 

 tinct, should stand as Leuciscus gillL 



f The types of Leuciscus gilli are described as follows: Head 4; depth 3% to 3%. D. 10; A. 14 

 (la to 16). Teeth 2, 4-5, 2. Scales 11-66-7, 32 before dorsal. Body deep, compressed, much 

 deeper than in L, montanus, the top of head broader, the eye and mouth smaller; eye 3y 2 to 4 in 

 head, \% in interorbital space; maxillary not quite to front of orbit; snout short and blunt, 3% 

 in head; lower jaw scarcely projecting; mouth oblique; caudal peduncle long Dorsal small, 

 anal large; caudal large; dark above, a dark lateral baud with a yellowish band above it; belly 

 reddish or orange; cheek with a bright yellow crescent; body and fins with black specks; a yel- 

 low blotch at base of pectoral. Length 4% inches. Browns Gulch, Silver Bow, Montana, and 

 Swan Lake, near Flathead Lake, (Columbia Basin). Apparently not distinct from L. balteatus.
