BIBLIOGRAPHY. 



Following is a list of the principal published articles relating to the fishes 

 and fisheries of North Carolina. The arrangement is primarily by authors 

 and secondarily by date of publication. Many of the ichthyological papers 

 have been cited in abbreviated reference (author and date) in the synonymy 

 of the various species of fish ("Systematic Catalogue", pages 25 to 402).

The work contains numerous references to fishes, and many plates, but has 

 little merit, the best portions being freely plagiarized from Lawson's volume pub- 

 lished 2S years before. 

 Cobb, John N.

 no. 12, North Carolina Geological Survey, 39 p., 11 maps. Raleigh.

1868. On the distribution of freshwater fishes in the Allegheny region of southwestern 

 Virginia. Journal of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, vol. vi,

1870&. A partial synopsis of the fishes of the fresh waters of North Carolina. Proceed- 

 ings American Philosophical Society, vol. xi, 1870, p. 448-495. 



This is the most important contribution to the literature of the fresh-water fishes 

 of North Carolina. It is based chiefly on collections made by Cope in 1869 in the 

 Tennessee, Cumberland, Catawba, Yadkin, and Neuse basins, and contains descrip- 

 tions of many new species. A second edition, with special cover, preface, and 

 addendum, was privately printed from the same plates in March, 1877.
