V. — SPADRA CREEK. 
In July, 1888, the writer made a small collection of fishes in Spadra Creek, a small 
tributaiy of the Arkansas Eiver, from the north, near Clarksville, Ark. Spadra Creek 
is not large, has a rocky and gravelly bottom, except near its mouth. It contains clear 
water, which flows with considerable current. The following are the species obtained : 
1. Ictalurus punctatns (Rafiuesque). 
Few specimens taken. 
2. Ictiobus velifer (Rafiuesque). 
One specimen taken. 
3. Moxostoma duquesnei (Le Sueur). 
Common. 
4. Erimyzon sucett-a (Lacdpfede). 
One specimen. 
5. Campostoma anomalum (Rafiuesque). 
Coinnion. 
6. Pimephales notatus (Rafiuesque). 
Common. These specimens are like those found in the streams in Missouri. 
7. Notropis boops (Gilbert).
