EXPLORATIONS OF THE ALLEGHANY REGION AND WESTERN INDIANA. 115 
5 . Erimyzon sucetta (Lac6pede). S. 
Common. In life ventrals and pectorals bright red, tipped with blue, a bright 
blue patch ou opercle ; rays of dorsal reddish, the membraues blackish ; body with a 
black lateral shade. Scales 45, but regularly arranged. These specimens seem refer- 
able to the northern var. ohlongus rather than to the true sucetta. 
6. Moxostoma papillosum (Cope). S. 
A few specimens. 
7. Hybognathus nuchalis Agassiz. S.,P. 
Most of these specimens correspond to the Hybognathus regia of Girard. The 
largest specimens (4^ inches in length) are larger than any western specimens of 
nuehalis which I have seen. The body in these large examples is deeper (depth 4 to 
4^ in length) than in nuchalis (depth 4|), and the caudal peduncle is stouter. A com- 
parison of numerous siiecimens reduced these and other supposed differences to a min- 
imum, and only the larger size and proportionately greater depth of body remain to 
distinguish regia from nuchalis. 
8. Notemigonus chrysoleucus (Mitchill). S.,P.,D.,W. 
Very common. A. 13, scales 49 ; A. 14, scales 51 j A, 15, scales 61 ; A. 14, scales 
47 ; A. 13, scales 50; A. 15, scales 54, in six specimens. These specimens should be 
referred to the northern or typical var. chrysoleucus^ 
9. Notropis saludanus (Jordan &, Brayton). S. 
One specimen, dark in color. 
10. Notropis procne (Cope). S. 
Rather scarce ; lateral stripe jet black, this stripe extending through eye around 
snout. Scales 35. Back high ; caudal peduncle slender ; dorsal high. 
11. Notropis amoenus (Abbott). S. 
Common. Color dark ; 18 scales before dorsal ; base of anal with dark dots. 
12. Notropis niveus (Cope). S.,P. 
The specimens differ considerably from the typical niveus (Catawba River), and 
may belong to a different species. 
The mouth in these specimens is rather less included below the snout, the eye is 
larger (3-^ in head, 3f in niveus) and the color is much darker, there being a distinct 
plumbeous lateral band. The body in these specimens is rather more elongate. A. 8, 
scales 37. 
Compared with N. whipplei, these specimens are much more slender, with notably 
larger eye, slenderer head, and considerably lower dorsal. Probably the specimens 
from Shingle and Spring Creeks represent a lowland variety of Notropis niveus. 
13. Stolephorus mitchilli (Cuv. & Val.). S. 
Many young anchovies were taken in Shingle Creek. 
14. Clupea pseudoharengus (Wilson). S. 
A few young alewives were taken in Shingle Creek, 
15. Dorosoma cepedianum (Le Sueur). S., P. 
Common.
