42. Etheostoma blennioides Rafinesque. Green-sided darter. (B, LB, D.) Common in the Big 
Barren River and Drake Creek, and the most abundant darter in the Little Barren River. 
A few very small specimens were taken at the first station on the Green River and several 
large ones at the second station. 
43. Etheostoma pellucidum Baird. Sand darter. (G, GE, LB.) Common only at the first station 
on the Green River, where about 75 specimens were taken. These specimens varied consid- 
erably both in color and squamation. 
44. Etheostoma asprellus (Jordan). (G, GE.) Not widely distributed, nor common anywhere. 
Lateral line, 96. 
45. Etheostoma copelandi (Jordan). (G, GE.) Yery abundant fit the first station on the Green 
River and common at the second. E. copelandi and E putnami are closely allied, and may he 
identical, the chief differences occurring in the number of spines in the dorsal and anal fins 
and in the size of the scales. E. copelandi has dorsal Xl-10; anal II— 9 ; lateral line, 56. 
E. putnami has dorsal, X-ll; anal, II— 8 ; lateral line, 44. In thirteen specimens from this 
locality the dorsal is X-ll, X-12, XI-11, XI-10, X-ll, XI-12, X-ll, X-12, X-12, X-12, X-12, 
X-ll, X-12; anal, II-9, II-8, II -9, II-9, II-8, II-8, II-8, II-9, II-9; lateral line, 51, 48, 51, 49, 
52, 51, 50, 48, 51, 48, 50, 50, 54. In these specimens the lateral line does not go as high as 
the average given for E. copelandi, nor as low as in E. putnami, while the number of fin 
rays seems to indicate nothing. I was also unable to find any constant difference in the 
relative proportion of head and depth. 
46. Etheostoma caprodes (Rafinesque). Log perch; Jack minnow; Hickory. (B, D, LB, G, GE.) 
Not so abundant as in the western part of the State. 
47. Etheostoma macrocephalum (Cope). (B, LB, D, Bea, G, GE.) A large handsome darter, hut 
little known and not widely distributed. Rather plentiful in the Holston, hut more 
abundant probably in this region than any other yet visited by the collector. The measure- 
ments of a few of the largest specimens are as follows :

48. Etheostoma aspro (Cope and Jordan). Black-sided darter. (B, G. ) Not abundant. Several 
specimens were taken from the Big Barren River, and only two from the Green. Lateral 
line, 62, 68, 65. 
49. Etheostoma phoxocephalum Nelson. (D, G, P. ) Not common. Only one small specimen taken 
from Pitman Creek.
