51. Etheostoma scierum (Swain). (B.) Rare, only one specimen having been obtained. 
52. Etheostoma simoterum (Cope). Very rare, specimens all young. 
53. Etheostoma evides Jordan and Copeland. (C, G, GE, P.) Common only at Pitman Creek, 
where it was taken in abundance; most of the specimens, however, were small. Compared 
with specimens from White River, Indiana, they were not so deep in proportion to their 
length ; stripes more narrow and not so well defined ; back less elevated, and scales smaller. 
Twelve specimens afforded the following measurements : 58, 63, 62, 69, 59, 62, 61, 63, 63, 62, 60, 
61. Pectorals unmarked. 
54. Etheostoma zonale (Cope). (B, LB, Bea, G, GE.) Common wherever taken ; most abundant in 
the clear ripples of the larger streams. The dark-green markings on the sides not arranged 
in well-defined bars ; pectorals crossed by faint-green bars ; cheeks with irregular patches 
of scales ; lateral line from 56 to 62. 
55. Etheostoma camurum (Cope). (G, GE.) Neither distributed generally nor taken in large num- 
bers. Always found in swift water. General color brown, with a number of faint, narrow, 
green lines running longitudinally, and broader ones running vertically; 20 or 30 small 
orange spots, about one-half millimeter in diameter, scattered promiscuously over the sides, 
numerous on the caudal peduncle. Two specimens from the first station on Green River were 
43 and 45 millimeters long ; scales in lateral lines, 48 and 53. Two from the second station 
measured 45, 47 ; scales, 49, 41. 
56. Etheostoma rufolineatum (Cope). (B.) Rare. Color, light olive, striped with brown and 
green, with a few orange spots on caudal peduncle and about mouth and cheeks ; dorsal 
light, bordered with the same orange color. 
57. Etheostoma flabellare (Rafinesque). (G, GE.) Not common. 
58. Etheostoma cceruleum Storer. Rainbow darter. (B, Bea, LB, G, GE.) Common. 
59. Etheostoma stigmaeum (Jordan). Speck. (B, LB, D, G, GE.) Widely distributed and very 
abundant at all the stations. • According to Dr. Gilbert, the types of Etheostoma stigmceum 
are identical with those of E. saxatile. 
60. Etheostoma virgatum (Jordan). Rare. 
61. Etheostoma microperca Jordan and Gilbert. Least darter. (LB.) Very rare. 
62. Stizostedion vitreum (Mitchill). Jack; Jack salmon; White-eye. (G, GE, P.) Most common in 
the Green River. A very excellent food-fish. 
63. Aplodinotus grunniens (Rafinesque). Fresh-water drum; White perch; Camphellite. (B, GE.) 
Common in Big Barren River; much valued as food. 
64. Cottus bairdi Girard. Miller’s thumb. (LB.) Rare.

by Dr. C. H. Gilbert; Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. 1887, 51.
