Typhlichthys wyandotte Higenmann.¢ 
A single specimen taken from north of the Ohio River from a well 
near Corydon, Ind.,is probably a distinct species. It differs slightly 
from those south of the Ohio, being somewhat more slender. The 
Corydon specimen is 1.65 inches in length from tip of the snout to 
base of caudal; other measurements are as follows: Head 3.66 in length; 
width of head in length of body 6.50, 1.66 in its own length; distance 
from posterior margin of skull to front of first dorsal ray, 16 mm.; 
front of dorsal to middle of caudal, 17 mm.; first anal ray nearer base 
of middle caudal ray than anus. Specimens from south of the Ohio 
River, 42 mm. long, measure as follows: Head 3 to 3.25 in length of 
body; width of head in length of body 5, 1.50 to 1.60 in its own length; 
distance from base of skull to first dorsal, 15.mm.; front of dorsal to 
middle ray of caudal, 17.5 mm. First anal ray about equidistant from 
base of middle caudal ray and anus.

“Jn the Biological Bulletin, VIII, 65, Dr. C. H. Eigenmann described another new 
species, Typhlicthys osborni, from Horse Cave, Ky., with narrower and shorter head, 
smaller eye, which is surrounded by prominent fatty masses, and swollen cheeks.
