THE FISH FAUNA OF NORTH CAROLINA. 21 



In the foregoing table the species are arranged systematically under the 

 names herein used; there are also shown the name imder which each species was 

 first described, the type locality, the person by whom named, and the date 

 when the species was established. 



Of the species here listed, 21 were described by Professor Cope, the pioneer 

 ichthyologist of North Carolina and the most voluminous writer on North Caro- 

 lina fishes; many of Cope's species have not been met with by other collectors 

 and are therefore known only from Cope's descriptions and types. 



FISHES FOUND ONLY IN NORTH CAROLINA. 



Of the fishes originally described from North Carolina, the following 18 

 have as yet been found in no other state, although it is likely that in time some 

 of both the fresh-water and salt-water species will be noted in other states. 



Sohilbeodes furiosus (Jordan & Meek). Notropis brimleyi Bean. 



Moxostoma collapsum (Cope). Notropis chiliticus (Cope). 



Moxostoma pidiense (Cope). Notropis altipinnis (Cope). 



Moxostoma coregonus (Cope). Notropis umbratilis matutinus (Cope). 



Moxostoma album (Cope). Fundulus rathbuni Jordan & Meek. 



Moxostoma thalassinmn (Cope) . Cypselm-us lutkeni (Jordan & Evermann). 



Moxostoma robustum (Cope). Boleosoma maoulaticeps Cope. 



Moxostoma crassilabre (Cope). Etheostoma swannanoa .Jordan & Evermann. 



Moxostoma oonus (Cope). Microgobiua holmesi Smith. 



PISHES NOT PREVIOUSLY RECORDED FROM NORTH CAROLINA WATERS. 



In the inquiries and investigations on which the present work is based, 

 there have been obtamed records of numerous species of fishes which have not 

 hitherto been noted as occurring in North Carolina in the very considerable 

 ichthyologic literature of the state. Most of these species are marine, and most 

 of them have been added to the local faima as a result of the collections at Beau- 

 fort by the United States Bureau of Fisheries. The list, which includes 59 salt- 

 water species and 10 fresh-water and anadromous species, is as follows: 



Salt-water Fishes: 



Hexanchxis griseus Scomberomorus eavalla 



Catulus uter Istiophorus nigricans 



Squatina squatina Tetrapturus albidus 



Rhinobatus lentiginosus Oligoplites saurus 



Raia eglanteria Caranx ruber 



Bascanichthys scuticaris Trachinotus glaucus 



Lycodontis ocellatus Trachinotus goodei 



Anchovia mitchilli Psenes maculatus 



Chlorophthalmus chalybeius Epinephelus striatus 



Hemirhamphus brasiliensis Mycteroperca venenosa 



Auxis thazard Mycteroperca bonaci 



Gymnosarda alleterata Diplectrum formosum 



Sarda sarda Lobotes surinamensis
