C.— BASIN OF WHITE EIVEE.

VI. — THE WHITE EIVEE IN MISSOUEI. 
That portion of northern Arkansas and southern Missouri, which is drained by 
the White Eiver and its tributaries, is considerably broken and mountainous, although 
none of its hills are of great height. The streams are fed by many springs, and ex- 
cept in rainy seasons their waters arre very clear. Their bottoms are for the most part 
rocky and gravelly. 
The James River, near Springfield, where visited, flows through a prairie region, 
although there is considerable timber along the borders of the stream. The river at 
this place is a beautiful stream of clear water, flowing over a rocky and gravelly bot 
tom, except in a few places, where the water was deep and the current sluggish. The 
stream is from 40 to 75 feet wide. At the time of our visit its temperature was 70° Fah. 
The water was then quite low. 
Bryanfs Creeic heads not far from Mansfield, Mo. It is fed by springs and its 
waters are very cold. The country south of Mansfield is heavily timbered and much 
broken, and the stream flows with a very swift current over a rocky bottom. The 
species of fishes in Bryant’s Creek were not many, but rich in individuals. Clirosomus 
erythrogaster was by far the most abundant species. The temperature was 58° Fah. 
The North Forh of the White, south of Cabool, flows through the most broken 
region in southern Missouri visited by us. The country is also heavily timbered and 
as yet sparsely settled. The stream has a rocky bottom and flows with a considerable 
current. One bank or the other is usually bordered by cliffs. Hybopsis amblops, taken
