FISHES FROM THE SOUTHERN TRIBUTARIES OF THE CUMBERLAND RIVER. 265 
Coloration: The upper portion of the body is of a light yellow; the dorsal region is 
marked with four dark cross-bars; the first and largest of these is between the two dorsals, 
the next two in the base of the second dorsal, and the last upon the caudal peduncle. On 
the sides above the lateral line each scale is marked with a brown spot. These spots 
form 2 or 3 series of lines running backward to the region of the second dorsal. The lower 
portions of the body are yellowish- white. Following the course of the lateral line is a series 
of 11 or 12 oblong spots which are continuous downward and backward as a faint bar. On 
either side of the head the spots on the lateral line are replaced by dark bands which pass 
forward through the eyes and meet on the tip of the snout. “First dorsal is margined with 
red; second dorsal and anal variegated with red spots.” 
34. Etheostoma obeyense Ivirsch. (O.) Two small specimens only were secured. 
35. Etheostoma coeruleum Storer. (0, E, Wf.) Common in Eagle Creek; Obeys and Wolf rivers 
one each. 
36. Etheostoma zonale (Cope). One specimen from Obeys River. 
37. Etheostoma copelandi (Jordan). One specimen from Obeys River. 
38. Etheostoma stigmaeum (Jordan). Abundant in all these streams. 
39. Cottus bairdi Girard. (O.) Not many were taken. 
CUMBERLAND RIVER. 
1. During these explorations the main stream of the Cumberland River was touched 
only at the “lock and dam” near the mouth of Willis Creek, Cumberland Co., Ky. 
Here the river is easily worked but with the short seine only at command not much 
could be done. Fish from this stream are marked u C.” 
2. Willis Greek is in Clinton County, Ky. It flows in a northwesterly direction and 
empties into the Cumberland River in Cumberland County. September 1 this little 
creek was fished at its mouth. Specimens from here are marked “ W.” 
For the prosecution of the work at this point I am greatly indebted to Capt. Wash 
Hurt for valuable assistance.
