* 111th species, Spotted Horn-Fish, PROCEROS MACULATUS, Prooeros 

 tachete. (p. 87.) 



A myth ; description evidently second hand. What fish, if any, sug- 

 gested it is past my guessing. 



IV.— LIST OF SPECIES NOT NOTICED BY EAFINESQUE.* 



The following species occurring in the valley of the Ohio, most of them 

 withinaradius of one hundred miles from Lexington, do not seem to have 

 been noticed by Eafinesque. These species are given upon the author- 

 ity of the present author unless otherwise noted. In case no particular 

 locality is mentioned, the species is supposed to be generally diffused. 

 Various other nominal species have been described from the Ohio Val- 

 ley, but I omit all of whose validity I am not reasonably certain,

This fish lives in the Mississippi, and is sometimes caught at St. Genevieve, in the 

 State of Missouri. The French settlers call it Poisson arme. It has no scales, but its 

 head is bony. Eyes very small. Dorsal and anal fins rounded. Length 2 or 3 feet ; 

 very good to eat. Communicated by Mr. M , of St. Genevieve.
