9. Heterandria ommata Jordan. (SF, S, N.) Not common. The original description of this 
species was published in the Proceedings of the U. S. National Museum, 1884, p. 323. The 
females only have the black ocellus on the upper part of the base of caudal, the males being 
crossed by from 5 to 7 dark bars. The mouth varies; the teeth are movable. Five speci- 
mens, two males and three females, gave the following measurements (in millimeters) :

The generic characteristics of this genus are not well established, as it has affinities 
with both Heterandria (see Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1884, 233; Gunther, vol. vi, 351; Proc. 
Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila. 1859, 62), and Bivulus (see Gunther, vol. vi, 227). The specimens I 
have examined have more in common with Heterandria, but have not the anal fin modified 
into an intromittent organ. 
10. Aphredoderus sayanus (Gilliams). (SF.) One specimen taken ; length, 50; head, 18; depth, 161; 
number of scales, 48 ; dorsal, III-12 ; anal, II-8 ; vent below hinder margin of opercle. 
11. Chaenobryttus gulosus (Cuv. & Val.). (SF, S, N.) Common. 
12. Lepomis punctatus (Cuv. & Val.). (SF, S, N.) Common. Specimens large; scales in lateral 
line, 43. 
13. Lepomis pallidus (Mitchill). Blue sun fish. (S, N. ) Pare. Only three specimens obtained. 
14. Lepomis megalotis (Kafinesque). Long-eared sunfish. (N.) Not common. 
16. Etheostoma quiescens Jordan. (SF, S, N.) Not abundant. Several specimens were obtained 
in each locality. 
17. Elassoma evergladei Jordan. (SF, S, N.) The color of these little fishes is exceedingly variable. 
The ground may vary from a light olive to a dark brown, or they may be mottled, striped, 
or barred with reddish brown, a dark brown, or a very dark green. Dorsal and anal fins 
edged with black. Several specimens had the body crossed by from 5 to 8 reddish-brown 
bars, which extended to the upper edge of the dorsal. (See Plate liii, Fig. 4.) Six speci- 
mens from the Santa Fe measure as follows :
