This beautiful darter was found only in Clinch River at Walker's ford, where two fine specimens,

49. Ulocentra stigmaea (Jordan). 



Eleven specimens, 1.5 to 2.75 inches long, from Ball Creek, and two, each 2.5 inches long, from

 Two forms are represented. 



Examples from Wolf and Obeys Rivers in general agree with the cotypes, which were secured 

 from the United States National Museum for comparison, but they diflfer in having the cheeks naked,
