23. Semotilus atromaculatus (Mitcli ill). Chub; Horned dace. Goose, Eedbird, and Left Trouble- 
some creeks. Abundant in an old bayou of Bull Creek, but rare at other places. Lateral 
line from 52 to 56. 
24. Labidesthes sicculus Cope. Brook silverside. Horse and Goose creeks, Eedbird and Big Creek. 
Neither very generally distributed nor plentiful where taken. 
25. Ambloplites rupestris (Eafinesque). Bock bass; Goggle-eye. Goose Creek, Eedbird, Big Creek, 
and Middle Fork. Not common in any stream except Lot Creek. 
26. Lepomis megalotis (Eafinesque). Long-eared sunfish. Taken at every station and abundant in 
Troublesome Creek. This is the only species of Lepomis found in these mountain streams. 
27. Micropterus dolomieu Lacepede. Small-moutlied black bass. Taken at every station, and gen- 
erally quite common. 
28. Micropterus salmoides (Lacdpede). Large-mouthed black bass. Goose Creek, Eedbird, Bull 
Creek, Middle Fork, and North Fork. Neither so widely distributed nor so common as M. 
dolomieu, and preferring more quiet water. 
29. Etheostoma pellucidum Baird. Sand darter. Found most frequently in the larger streams, and 
most abundant on the sandbars of Eedbird. 
30. Etheostoma nigrum (Eafinesque). Johnny darter. Widely distributed; taken in every stream 
except Goose Creek, but common only in Horse Creek and Eedbird. Specimens all small. 
31. Etheostoma blennioides Eafinesque. Green-sided darter. Horse and Goose creeks, Eedbird, Big 
Creek, Middle Fork, Cutshin, Lot, and Troublesome creeks. More common than E. nigrum, 
and larger and finer specimens were obtained. 
32. Etheostoma variatum (Kirtland). Eedbird, Middle Fork, Cutshin and Troublesome creeks. 
A very handsome darter taken at only a few places, but found in great quantities at some 
of them. At Eedbird about 100 specimens were obtained from the long, gentle ripple at 
the crossing of the Hazard road. This species is not generally distributed, nor had it been 
taken previously in large numbers. It has been recorded only from a tributary of the Little 
Miami (Ohio), Brookville (Indiana), and the falls of the Ohio Eiver at Jeffersonville (Indiana).

33. Etheostoma spilotum (Gilbert). Hector Creek, Eedbird, Big Creek, Middle Fork, Cutshin, 
Lot, and Troublesome creeks. This species (or variety of E. nianguw) has never been taken 
except from the waters of the Kentucky Eiver. It was first obtained by Dr. Gilbert in 
Sturgeon Creek, Ow;sley County, Ky., in 1889. We did not find it common at any station, 
six specimens from the Eedbird being the greatest number from any one place. Two of the 
largest specimens measure as follows: Length, 71,80; head, 21,23; depth, 13,16; eye, 4,4; 
lateral line, 58,59; dorsal, XI-13, XI-13; anal, 11-10,11-11. (See Plate Li, Fig. 3.) Fora 
detailed description reference should be made to Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. 1887, 53. 
34. Etheostoma simoterum (Cope). Eedbird, Bull Creek, Middle Fork, Troublesome Creek. Not 
common.
