of others includes the following twenty-eight species (starred 
forms are in our collections) : 
*Lepisosteus platostomus 
*Amiatus calva 
*Ameiurus natalis 
*SchiIbeodes gyrinus 
Schilbeodes leptacanthus 
*Erim;yzon sucetta 
Notropis roseus 
Notropis metallicus 
*Anguilla chrysypa 
*Umbra limi 
*Esox americanus 
*Esox reticulatus 
*Gambusia aflfinis 
*Fundulus cingulatus 
*Fundulus nottii 
*Lucania ommata 
*Aphredoderus sayannus 
*Labidesthes sicculus 
^Elassoma evergladei 
*Centrarchus macropterus 
*Enneacanthus obesus 
*Chaenobryttus gulosus 
*Lepomis megalotis 
*Lepomis heros 
*Lepomis punctatus 
*Eepomis pallidus 
*Micropterus salmoides 
*Boleichthys fusiformis 
Almost all of these include more or less widespread species. 
As pointed out above the distinctive so-called Florida forms 
are absent and no coastal species are recorded. The killifishes are 
represented by four species, the basses by eight species, the cat- 
fishes by three species and the darters by one species while in 
the hypothetical list the minnows are twelve in number, the killi- 
fishes seven, the basses three, the catfishes six and the darters 
four. Truly in number of species the swamp is a disappointing 
place and in no way comparable in this respect with the better 
known Everglades of Florida. Twenty-eight freshwater species 
compare not very favorably with the fifty-one freshwater forms 
of Florida. When a more systematic study of the fishes of the 
swamp is made and more varied localities within it and outside of 
it are worked then we may expect a more pretentious list. The 
new records ought to include more catfishes, minnows and killi- 
fishes. 
Since this paper was submitted a visit to the swamp was made 
in the summer of 1921. Additional evidence in support of the 
conclusions reached was secured. Another visit will be made 
during the summer of 1922. 
The more important observations of this paper are : 
1. That Umbra limii (Kirtland) should include U. pygmaea De Kay. 
(pp. 362-364). 
2. That the southern limit of the range of Umbra limi (Kirtland) is 
materially increased from North Carolina to southern Georgia, (p. 
362). 
3. That Esox americanus (Gmelin) should include E. vermiculatus Le 
Sueur, (pp. 364, 365). 
4. That Eucania ommata (Jordan), a rare species redescribed, is 
abundant in the Suwannee River basin, (p. ). 
5. That Enneacanthus obesus Baird should include E. gloriosus (Hol- 
brook). (pp. 368-370).
