EXPLORATIONS OF THE ALLEGHANY REGION AND WESTERN INDIANA. 125 
1. Lepisoateua oaaeus (L.). 
Two small specimens, about a foot long, and many large ones were taken. 
2. Noturua furioaus Jordan & Meek. “Tabby Cat.” 
A single specimen, similar to the types of the species from the Neuse Eiver. 
Numerous very large examples of this species were taken some twelve years ago in 
the Tar River, near Tarborough, by Mr. James W. Milner. These are now in the U. 
S. National Museum. They were at first identified by me as Noturus eleutheruSj and 
afterwards as Noturus miurus. They are closest to N. miurus, but apparently dis- 
tinct from both species, having a stronger armature and a more strongly marked 
coloration than either. 
3. Noturus insignis (Richardson). 
Abundant. Color very dark ; edges of fins little darker. 
4. Ameiurus erebennus Jordan. 
Two small specimens. 
5. Ameiurus nebulosus (Le Sueur). 
Common Anal rays 22; caudal slightly concave. 
6. Catostomus nigricans (Le Sueur). 
Common. 
7. Moxostoma papillosum (Cope). 
Common. Body rather elongate; the back low ; lower lip small, deeply incised ; 
its surface plicate, but the folds broken up into papillm. D. 13. 
8. Moxostoma cervinum (Cope). 
Common. Color strongly marked; back purplish black; belly abruptly white; a 
pale streak along the centers of each row of scales; dorsal, anal, and caudal dark, the 
tips inky black. 
9. Hybognathus nuchalis Agassiz. 
Common. Specimens all small. 
10. Notropis procne (Cope). 
Common. 
11. Notropis megalops albeolus Jordan & Meek. 
Two small specimens, similar to those from the Roanoke ; lower jaw not shorter 
than upi^er. 
12. Notropis matutinus (Cope). 
Common. This species is a member of the group called Liithrums, and it is 
closely related to Notropis liriis. In spirits it is very pale, with a lateral band of dark 
points and a small black spot at base of dorsal in front, preceded by a dark streak 
along the middle line of the back. Head 4^; depth 5.i in length ; scales 44; 20 to 25 
scales before the dorsal. 
In life, snout, tip of lower jaw, iris, and membranes of upper half of dorsal red. 
13. Notropis niveus (Cope). 
Abundant. Similar to that fouud in the Dismal Swamp.
