22 CONTEIBUTIONS TO NORTH AMERICAN ICHTHYOLOGY 1. 



VII. Genus, RED-BYE, APLOCENTRUS, Aplocentre. (p. 31.) 



19th species, Ohio Red-Eye, APLOCENTRUS CALLIOPS, Aplocentre 

 beloeuil. (p. 31.) 



A myth, described from a drawing by Mr. Audabon. Its characters 

 would indicate a sort of Sunfish with a dorsal fin resembling that of 

 Coryphcena, " beginning behind the head with a single long, spiny ray, 

 and ending close to the tail ". 



The name " Eed-Eye " in the region which this fish is supposed to in- 

 habit is chiefly applied to the Eock-Bass [AmMoplites rupestris). 

 VIII. Genus, BARBOT, POGOSTOMA, Barbotte. (p. 34.) 



20th species, White-Eyes Barbot, POGOSTOMA LBUCOPS, Barbotte 

 CBUilblanc. (p. 35.) 



Another mythical species," described from a drawing of Mr. Audubon " 

 It is a toothless Sunfish, with two small distant dorsal fins, and six bar- 

 bels about the mouth. Whatever it is, it has probably no longer " a 

 great many vulgar names, such as White-Eyes, Spectacles-Fish, Streaked 

 Sunfish, Black Sunfish, Barbot, Bearded Sunfish, etc.". Nor do the 

 French settlers call it "Barbotte, Poisson Lunette, and OEuil-Blanc". 

 There is no sort of foundation for Professor Agassiz's assertion that 

 ^^ Fogostoma is evidently synonymous with Lota^\
