29. Notropis heterodon (Cope). Taken nowhere except in Fish Lake .at Hamilton, Iml., where many 
specimens w'ere secured. None over 2A inches long. Lateral line not complete. Lateral

Prof. Meek as var. microstomns ( Raftnesque) and those, from Gordon Creek as var. vobicella Cope. 
31. Notropis boops Gilbert. Common in the Maumee River at Grand Rapi.ls. Five specimens from 
the Blanchard River at Findlay, Ohio. Eye longer than snout and 24 in length of head. 
32. Notropis hud.souius (De Witt Clinton). Very common in the Alaumee River at Grand Rapids, 
Ohio, where the largest specimens measured 24 inches in length. A single specimen, 34 inches 
long, was secured in the Maumee River at Toledo. Ohio. Numeroirs specimens were taken in 
Devils Lake and Tiffin River at Mauitou Beacli, Midi.

the following jdaces: BR., IL., CL., TB., TH., i\IC., GC.. E. 
34. Notropis megalops (Rafiuesquc). Common Shiner. Taken in all the streams and at nearly every 
point where investigations were made. None found in the lakes. 
35. Notropis ariommiis (Cope). Big-eye. Two specimens, 2| inches long, from tlie Maumee River

fin. D.8;A. 8. 
36. Notropis ardeiis (Cope). Bedfin. Found at all points in the streams explored, except at MCI., 
T., JE., MR., TB., TH., MC. This includes the specimens taken in Lost and Gordon creeks, 
near Cecil, Ohio, by Prof. Meek, and classed by him as Notropis lythurns .Jordan & Gilliert. 
Dr. D. S. Jordan says, in Manual of Vertebrates, that Nofrojiis ardens is very variable, but 
the ditferent varieties {lythnrns, niripes, cyanocephahts) are h.ardly worthy of separate names ; 
we have therefore classed all under the name -V. ardens (Cope). 
37. Notropis dilectus (Girard). Ft., JIL, JE., CC., TH., BE., BCr. Common at all these qdaces. 
Head, about 44; depth, 44. D. 9; A. 10.
