In May and June, 1889, Prof. Philip H. Kirsch, assisted by William M. Andrews 

 and Everett O. Jones, students in the University of Indiana, while engaged in field work 

 for the United States Fish Commission, made collections of fishes from certain streams 

 in the Tennessee Basin. On May 27 they examined Spring Creek at Huntsville, Ala. 

 This stream is tributary to Pinhook Creek, which in turn is tributary to the Tennessee 

 River. The next day they collected in Pinhook Creek near Huntsville. On June i 

 collections were made near Decatur, Ala., in Veta Wright Creek, a small tributary 

 of the Tennessee. On June 5 they examined Cypress Creek (a tributary of the Ten- 

 nessee) near Florence, Ala. On June 6 collections were made at Tuscumbia, Ala., from 

 Spring Branch, tributary to the Tennessee. On June 7 they made collections in Big 

 Nance Creek from the mill pond near Courtland, Ala., downstream for about 3 miles. 

 They also examined Spring Creek near Courtland. The next day collections were 

 made near HiUsboro, Ala., in Mallett Creek, also a small southern tributary of the 

 Teimessee. 



These collections were turned over to Dr. Gilbert for study and report. 



In 1884 Profs. Gilbert and Swain made collections in Shoal Creek near Florence, 

 Ala. ; Duck River near Columbia, Tenn. ; and Richland Creek and Pigeon Roost Creek near 

 Pulaski, Term. These collections were also reported on by Dr. Gilbert in this paper.
