Amia calva Linné. »Mudfish». In St. Johns river and 

 larger lakes, Lake Apopka etc. Small speciniens are very 

 seldom found and I could not get any of small size at all. 



Noturus gyrinus (Mitchill). I caught a few small specimens 

 in Ferncreek near Orlando, Orange Co. and in St. Johns river. 



Amiurus nebulosus Lesueur. »BuUhead». Lake Apopka 

 and other larger lakes. 



Amiurus erebennus JoRDAN. )Catlish». St. Johns river, 

 Orange Co. 



Amiurus natalis (LesuEUR) Jordan. Var. cupreus with 

 the upper jaw longer. 



>Catfish». In Ferncreek at Orlando, Orange Co., in ditches 

 and ponds round Kissimmee, Osceola Co., in a creek from a 

 sulphurspring near Lake Jessup, Orange Co. These last men- 

 tioned had a reddish hiie and deserved the name cupreus very 

 well. Anal rays 24 or raore but the length of the base of anal 

 hardly more than a fourth of the total length. 



Ictaliirus punctatus (Rasinesq,UE) Jordan. »Channelcat», 

 ;Catfish». Lake Apopka. 



Jct.alurus niyricans (Lesueur) Jordan. »Channelcat», 

 -Catfish». Lake Apopka. These two species and other large 

 catfishes are caught on hook and line and used for food by the 

 colored people. A good deal is shipped north too, but the 

 white inhabitants of Florida very seldom use them. 



Arius felis (Linné) Jordan & Gilbert. »Catfish», »Sea 

 Cat». Abundant along the coast. 



Ailurichthys marinus (Mitchill). »Catfish», »Gaftopsail». 

 Both coasts. The marine catfishes are not used for food by the 

 population of Florida. 



Erimyzon sucetta (Lacépéde). »Sucker». Large specimens 

 from Lake Apopka have 38 scales in a lougitudinal row 15 in 

 a vertical. Some other specimens from small lakes and ponds 

 between Apopka and Toronto have only 11 rays in the dorsal. 

 Smaller specimens were caught in Ferncreek at Orlando and 

 several other waters.
