ANNOTATED LIST OF FISHES FROM VICINITY OF AUGUSTA, GA. 
3 
8. Minytrema melanops (Ralinesque). Striped Sucker. 
A single specimen was taken in Sweetwater Creek, Edgefield County, S. C. 
The fish was unknown to some of the most intelligent local anglers. It is probably 
rare in the vicinity. 
9. Hybognathus nuchalis Agassiz. 
This species does not appear to be very common. Three specimens were taken 
in borrow pits along the levee and one was taken in a small creek. It was not seen 
elsewhere. A female, taken on June 5, 1918, contained well-developed roe. 
10. Semotilus atromaciilatus (Mitchill). “Hornyhead,” Dace. 
Taken only in Sweetwater Creek, Edgefield County, S. C., where it appears to 
be common. This fish is said to be good “ trout” bait. 
11. Notemigonus crysoleucas (Mitchill). “Roach,” Shiner, Golden Shiner. 
The “roach” is common in ponds and borrow pits. It is the most commonly 
used and one of the best-liked minnows for “ trout” bait. Bait collectors especially 
seek this minnow, for which they find ready sale. 
12. Opsopceodus bollmani Gilbert. “Minner.” 
This little fish is probably not common in the vicinity of Augusta. Two 
specimens, 2\ and 2\ inches in length, were taken in a brickyard pond on the Carolina 
side of the Savannah River. The size of the specimens at hand is somewhat larger 
than that ascribed to the species in current works, in which the greatest length 
given is 2 inches. 
13. Notropis hudsonius (Clinton). Shiner, Spawneater, “Minner.” 
This minnow is common in brickyard ponds. The specimens collected appear 
to belong to the variety saludanus. 
14. Notropis rubricroceus (Cope). Saffron-colored Minnow, “Minner.” 
This pretty little fish was taken in Sweetwater Creek, Edgefield County, S. C., 
and in a small creek on the Milledgeville Road It is apparently confused with the 
“hornyheads” ( Semotilus atromaculatus and Bybopsis fcentuckiensis ) by local anglers. 
15. Hybopsis kentuckiensis (Rafinesque). “Hornyhead.” 
The “hornyhead” was taken only in Sweetwater Creek, Edgefield County, S. C., 
where it is not rare. It is not distinguished from Semotilus atromaculatus by local 
people. 
16. Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus. “Carp,” “Cob.” 
This fish is rather common in some of the brickyard ponds. It is much sought 
by the negroes and is used to a limited extent by white people. It is the opinion 
of some of the local fishermen that this fish is now less abundant than formerly. 
No very large individuals and only “scale carp” were seen.
