22. Notropis arge (Cope). Common in large clear streams. I have followed Professors B. W. 
Evermann and O. P. Jenkins in the indentification of this species, but find some variation 
between what we have called arge and Cope’s Alburnellus arge, described in his Synopsis 
of the Cyprinidifi of Pennsylvania. Cope gives the length of A, arge as 2.75 inches, less 
than that of atherinoides ( Alburnellus jaculus), while the specimens I have examined have 
generally been much larger. Cope describes the lateral line of A. arge as straight, which is 
not true in what we recognize as N. arge. The silver band on the sides of N. arge extends 
below the lateral line, while the interorbital space is about equal to the orbit. 
23. Notropis sp. (LB.) Not common. 
24. Notropis telescopus (Cope). (LB.) Rare. 
25. Phenacobius uranops Cope. (B, D, G, GE.) Not common. No caudal spot; lateral line, 60. 
26. Hybopsis hyostomus Gilbert. (B, LB, G, GE.) Not rare. Found in clear water, ordinarily in 
the swift water of the ripples. The largest specimen from Green River measured 57 mm. 
long ; lateral line, 39. 
27. Hybopsis amblops (Rafinesque). Silver chub. (G, GE, P.) Not common, being poorly repre- 
sented at each station. 
28. Hybopsis watauga Jordan and Evermann. (B, LB, D, G, GE.) Very abundant in the clear 
swift water of Big Barren River and Drake Creek. The scales in the lateral line of a few 
specimens are as follows : 48, 47, 48, 50, 49, 51, 49, 50. Scales before dorsal, 20 and 21. The 
scales in the lateral line of H. dissimilis (Kirtland) are 43,44,47,46,43,45, 46, 44; scales 
before dorsal, 17,17,18,17,17,16,16. The large spots, so conspicuous on the sides of H. 
watauga, are a distinguishing feature. H. ivatauga is ordinarily much larger than E. 
dissimilis, and often reaches 100. mm. in length. 
29. Hybopsis kentuckieiisis (Rafinesque). Chub. (B, LB, D, GE.) Common. Lateral line, 42 to 44. 
30. Semotilus atromaculatus (Mitchill). Hornyhead. (D, Bea.) Not common. Lateral line, 57. 
31. Hiodon selenops Jordan and Bean. Moon-eye. (P.) Very rare; only one specimen was taken. 
32. Zygonectes notatus (Rafinesque). Top-minnow. (D.) Rare; only three very small specimens 
were obtained. 
33. Fundulus catenatus (Storer). Studfish. (GE.) Very rare. 
34. Labidesthes sicculus Cope. Brook silverside. (B, D, LB, G, GE.) Found to be most abundant 
about the large sandbars in Green River ; only a few, were taken in Big Barren River. 
35. Pomoxis annularis Rafinesque. Calico bass. (B, G, B, GE.) Not common in the Big Barren; 
abundant in the bayou of the Green River. Specimens very large. 
36. Ambloplites rupestris (Rafinesque). Goggle-eye. (LB, G, GE, P.) Small specimens common in 
the bayou of the Green River ; several large ones taken in Pitman Creek. 
37. Lepomis pallidus (Mitchill). Blue sunfish. (GE.) Very rare. Lateral line, 44. 
38. Lepomis megalotis (Rafinesque). Long-eared sunfish. Very generally distributed, but not many 
specimens were taken at any one station. 
39. Micropterus dolomieu Laciipede. Small-mouthed black bass. Taken in all streams visited and 
plentiful in all the larger ones. 
40. Micropterus salmoides (Lac^pfede). Large-mouthed black bass. Not nearly so common as M. 
dolomieu. 
41. Etheostoma nigrum (Rafinesque). Johnny darter. (B, D, GE.) Common in Big Barren River 
and Drake Creek, but only a few small specimens obtained in the Green River. Lateral 
line, 48, 48, and 44,
