14. Notropis umbratilis cyanocephalus Copeland. Bedfin. Redbird and Bull Creeks. Although 
this is one of the most variable species of the genus, throughout this region the specimens 
obtained were all well defined, and when compared with specimens from other parts of the 
State they showed no constant differences. 
15. Notropis spectrunculus (Cope?). Redbird. This identification is not positive; the only speci- 
men is more slender and its mouth more terminal than in N. deliciosus. There is also a dark 
caudal spot. 
16. Notropis dilectus (Girard). Redbird. Bull, and Cutshin creeks, North Fork, Lot, Troublesome, 
and Left Troublesome creeks. A very widely distributed and comparatively common little 
minnow, found in the clear running water of both large and small streams. Compared 
with specimens from other localities within the State, the color is about the only point of 
difference. Ten specimens from Redbird measure as follows (in millimeters) :

19. Ericymba buccata (Cope). Taken at every station. Much more plentiful in the eastern than 
the western part of the State, and more abundant in the tributaries of the North Fork 
than in those of the Middle Fork. 
20. Hybopsis amblops (Rafinesque). Silver chub. Obtained at all stations except in Horse, Big, 
and Bull creeks. Widely distributed, but nowhere very abundant. 
21. Hybopsis kentuckiensis (Rafinesque). Chub. Taken at all stations except in Goose and Left 
Troublesome creeks. Not abundant at any place, but rather common in Redbird and Big- 
creeks, Middle Fork, and North Fork. 
22. Hybopsis watauga Jordan and Evermann. Redbird. Very rare.
