DISTRIBUTIONAL LIST OF SPECIES. 



Following is a list of all the species of fishes which have been recorded, so far as the 

 writer has been able to detennine, from the Cumberland and Tennessee Basins and the 

 other streams in the States of Kentucky and Tennessee. Records from that portion of 

 the Ohio River bordering on Kentucky and that portion of the Mississippi bordering on 

 Kentucky and Tennessee are included. 



Under each species are given (i) each stream or locality from which recorded, (2) the 

 authority for the record, (3) the date of the record, and (4) the name under which the 

 species was recorded (omitted when identical with the present recognized name). If the 

 locality is a type locality, the fact is stated. Thus, under Ameiurus melas, "Ohio River 

 (Rafinesque, 1820, as Silurus melas, type, and 1820a)," means that the species whose 

 accepted name is Ameiurus melas was recorded from the Ohio River by Rafinesque in 

 1820 as Silurus melas, new species (indicated by the word "type"), and that Rafinesque 

 again recorded it from the same place in a second paper published by him in 1 820. The 

 titles of all papers referred to will be found in the bibliography. 



The number in parenthesis following each species name is that of Jordan and Ever- 

 mann's Check-List of Fishes and Fishlike Vertebrates of North and Middle America.
