POMOXYS ANNULARIS Raf. 



Giclila storeria Kirtland. 



Fomoxys storerius, intermedins, protacanthus, and hrevicauda Gill. 



Description not entirely accurate, but certainly sufficient for identifi- 

 cation. This fish is now, as in Rafinesque's time, abundant at the Falls 

 of the Ohio, where it is now called " Bachelor". Throughout Kentucky 

 it is known as the "New Light", and sometimes as "Campbellite". 

 The characters assumed to distinguish intermedins, protacanthus, etc., are 

 entirely within the bounds of individual variation.
