1406. EUPOMOTIS HOLBROOKI (Cuvier & Valenciennes). 



Head 3 to 3i; depth 2 to 2i ; eye 4 in head, as long as snout. D. X, 10 to 

 12; A. Ill, 9 to 11 ; scales 6-44 or 45-15, 43 pores, 5 rows on cheek. Body 

 robust, elevated, the snout rather produced; maxillary reaching front of 

 orbit; preopercle slightly denticulate. Dorsal fin high, the spines about 

 as high as the soft rays, the longest half head ; pectoral fins very long, 

 long as head. Gill rakers moderate, obtuse, strongly toothed, x -f- 10. 

 Opercular flap short, broad, with a broad orange margin below and 

 behind. No palatine teeth ; lower pharyngeals broad ; the teeth large, 

 with subspherical crowns. Dusky olive, silvery below ; throat yellow ; 

 fins dark, with yellowish rays ; no black dorsal spot. Length 10 inches. 

 Virginia to Florida; abundant in lowland streams. (Named for Dr. 

 John Edwards Holbrook, of Charleston, author of the excellent Ichthy-

1407. EUPOMOTIS EUBTOBUS (McKay). 



Head 3f; dopth 2|. D. X,ll; A. 111,10; scales 6-43-14, 6 or 7 rows on 

 cheek. Body very robust, compressed ; form nearly oval ; dorsal outline 

 more convex than ventral; profile steep, convex. Mouth oblique, small; 

 maxillary reaching front of eye. Outer teeth stronger than others ; teeth 

 on front of palatines. Lower pharyngeals with the rather long posterior 

 spur turned up, stoutish; the inner angle rounded, somewhat obtuse. 



* We do not know which of these two names, heros and notatus, has priority. We give prefer- 

 ence to heros as a less conventional name and as already most widely accepted. 



t Xystroplites longimamts, Cope, is thus described: "Body elevated, but the head rather pro- 

 duced, so that the profile is oblique and nearly straight from the base of the dorsal fin. The 

 depth of the body enters the total length 2.5 times, and the length of the head enters the same 

 3.6 times. The orbit is large, equaling the length of the muzzle, and entering the length of the 

 head 4 times. The interorbital space is 1.5 times the diameter of the orbit. The muzzle is 

 subconic and the end of the maxillary bone reaches the line of the anterior margin of the 

 orbit. The dorsal fin is elevated, the spines equaling the soft rays and not separated from them 

 by a notch. Caudal fin openly notched; ventral not reaching anal; the pectoral very long, 

 reaching the line of the fifth anal soft ray. Formula: D. X-12; A. III-ll ; P. 13. Scale formula: 

 7-44-15; 5 rows on the preoperculnm below the orbit. The color above is dusky, below silvery, 

 the gular and thoracic region light yellow. The opercular black spot is short and has a crim- 

 son border. Fins black, the caudal, anal, and pectoral fins with yellow rays. The ends of the 

 long gill rakers are obtuse, as in L. apiatus. There are no palatine teeth, Length 170 meters.
