37. Micropterus salmoides (Lacépéde). Large-mouth Black Bass. 
Dry Fork of Tug, at Iaeger; Greenbrier River, 8 miles above Hinton. 
The large-mouth black bass from Greenbrier River differ from current descriptions in having smaller 
scales on the cheek, the number of rows frequently being as high as 14 or 15. In this respect they 
approach dolomieu, but in other respects, such as color, size of scales on side, etc., they agree with typical 
salmoides. Some young have the conspicuous black submarginal caudal black bar, a character not 
found in all, and which, while common to both species, is usually more constant in dolomieu.
