REVIEW OF RAFINESQUE ON AMERICAN FISHES, 27 



*36th species, SlenderMinnir, MINNILUS DINEMUS, Minny emeraude. 

 (p. 46.) 



NoTOTEOPis DINEMUS {Eaf.) Jordan. 

 Alburnellus jaculus Cope. 



The coloration and form are those of Alburnellus jaculus, with which 

 I have identified this description. 



1 37th species, Spotted Minny, MINNILUS NOTATUS, Minny tache. (p. 47.) 



Hyborhynchus notatus (Eaf.) Ag. 



EyhorhyncJius notatus Agassiz. ^ 



Hyborhynchus superciliosus Cope. 



Agassiz's identification of his Hyborhynchus with this species is possi- 

 bly correct, although the description is very irrelevant. The common 

 Hyborhynchus of the Ohio region has small but distinct barbels at the 

 angle of the mouth, and is therefore H. superciliosus of Cope. The latter 

 name is probably a synonym of H. notatus. 



1 38th specie^, Little-Mouthed Minny, MINNILUS MICROSTOMUS, Minny 

 microstome. (p. 47.) 



Hybopsis MICROSTOMUS (Eaf.) Jordan. 



Hybopsis longiceps Cope. 



Hybopsis microstomus (Eaf.) Jordan. 



This description agrees very closely with specimens sent me by "VV. M.
