FISH-CULTURAL INVESTIGATIONS IN TEXAS.

it is more slender, the snout is longer and more pointed, and the color is not the 
same; from specimens of Z. cingulatus Cnv. and Yal. from Pensacola, the differences 
are seen to be about the same as those which distinguish it from Z. henshalli ; from 
the types of Z. auroguttatus Hay, it differs chiefly in the greater number of anal rays 
and the less distinct crossbars. 
I name this species for Prof. O. P. Jenkins, of Leland Stanford Junior University, 
in recognition of his work upon the fishes of the Sandwich Islands. 
27. Zygonectes notatus (Raf.). 
Specimens of this widely distributed species were obtained at the following places : 
Neelies River, east of Palestine 27 
Trinity River, at Magnolia Point 2 
Long Lake, near Magnolia Point 15 
Buffalo Bayou, Houston 7 
Big White Oak Bayou, Houston 23 
San Antonio Springs, San Antonio 5 
These Texas specimens do not differ apparently from examples collected in Indiana. 
28. Zygonectes escambiae Bollman. 
Zygonectes escambiae Bollman, Proc. U. S. N. M. 1886, 463 (Escambia River, Flomaton, Ala.). 
From a pond on the bank of the Trinity River, at Magnolia Point, we obtained 5 
specimens that I refer to this species. 
Head, 4; depth, 5; eye, 2f, greater than snout; scales about 38-10, 20 before the 
dorsal; dorsal, 7 or 8, slightly behind the anal ; anal, 9. Sides with about 10 brownish 
or chocolate lines made up of a spot on each scale; in two of the live examples these 
lines are more nearly continuous than in the others ; between these are smaller spots 
hardly forming lines; the individuals with the spots most distinct are probably males. 
Compared with the types of Z. escambice , these specimens are more slender, the spots 
come nearer to forming continuous bands, and the tins are all plain, compared with 
the types of Z. craticula Goode and Bean, which are from Indian River, Florida; the 
snont is shorter and less pointed, the lower jaw projects less, and the longitudinal lines 
are less marked. Specimens of Z. craticula collected at Titusville, Florida, by Mr. 
R. E. Earll, show about 10 dark crossbars not developed on any of the other specimens 
examined except on one collected at Westville, Florida, by Hr. O. P. Hay, and identified 
by him as the Z. nottii of Agassiz. Zygonectes escambiae Bollman closely resembles Z. 
craticula Goode and Bean, and it may be that they are both identical with Z. nottii A g. 
The briefness of Agassiz’s description of Z. nottii makes it very difficult to identify 
that species with certainty, and it is perhaps best to let the names stand as above. 
29. Lucania parva (B. and G.). 
Cyprinodon parvus Baird and Girard, 9th Smithsonian Report, for 1854, 345 (Greennort, Long 
Island). 
One specimen of this interesting little fish was taken in Sims Bayou, at Houston, 
3 in Dickinson Bayou, 4 in San Antonio Springs, and 4 at Corpus Christi. 
This species at first glance much resembles Gambusia patruelis, and, in collecting, 
is apt to be mistaken for that species.
