4 5 til Species. Warty Chubby. Semotilus diplemia. 

 Semotile verruqueux. 



Diameter one sixth of total length: olivaceous 

 brown with gold shades above, silvery beneath : lat- 

 eral line double, the an- [II. 240] terior and lower 

 curved upwards at the base, reaching to the abdomi- 

 nal fins, the posterior and upper straight from the 

 pectoral fins to the tail : fins red, a spot at the base 

 of the dorsal and caudal, and many dots over them. 

 Dorsal with nine rays ; the anal with eight. 



Length from three to four inches, often called 

 Minny or Red-fin. Observed in the Kentucky river 

 near Estill. The male fish has a larger mouth than 

 the female and some black warts on the head. Ful- 

 vous brown on the head. Iris large, golden, and 

 white. Some black dots on the dorsal and caudal 

 fins : the caudal spot is on the tail, and the dorsal at 

 the anterior base ; they are small and round. The 

 pectoral fins do not reach the abdominal fins ; they 

 have 18 rays: the tail has 24. 



XVIII Genus. Fallfish. Rutilus. Rutile. 



Difference from Minnilus. Vent posterior nearer 

 to the tail. Abdominal fins with nine rays. Mouth 

 large and with lips. Scales large. 



I call this genus Rutilus, in the supposition that 

 Cyprinus rutilus may be the type of it; if it should 

 be otherwise, it may be called Plar gyrus. 



46th Species. Silverside Fallfish. Rutilus 

 plargyrus, Rutile plargyre. 



Diameter one fifth of total length: silvery, back 

 with the dorsal, pectoral, and caudal fins olivaceous :
