On page 20 of this publication, in article No. 15, entitled "Extracts from A Second 

 Series of Zoological Letters written to Baron Cuvier of Paris, by Prof. Rafinesque in 

 1 83 1," Rafinesque describes "a large and beautiful new catfish from the River Tennessee 

 discovered in 1823," which he calls Pimelodus lutescens. The species is evidently the 

 same as Icialurus punctatus described by Rafinesque in 181 8 from the Ohio.

In this short paper, read July 2 and 16, 1845, Dr. Storer gives descriptions of seven
