having tbe free edge of the dorsal concave. Its claims to stand as a distinct species 
are, however, open to much doubt. 
12. Moxostoma cervinum (Cope). N. “ Crawl-a-bottom.” 
Common. Specimens similar to those from the Eoanoke and James, but larger. 
13. Hybognathus nuchalis Agassiz. N., L. 
Very common. Some large specimens taken in the Neuse. 
14. Notropls procne (Cope). L., N. 
Common. The tvo s|)ecimens taken in th^ Neuse are very pale, with only traces 
of lateral band and caudal spot. 
15. Notropis hudsonius (Clinton). L. 
One taken. 
16. Notropia megalops albeolus Jordan & Meek. N. 
Scarce. 
17. Notropis niveus (Cope). L., N. 
Very common, The form variable ; some specimens almost as deep as those of 
V. wJiipplei, of which species this may prove to be a variety. 
18. Notropis amoenus (Abbott). N. 
Common in the Neuse. This is apparently the species recorded by Cope (Proc. 
Am. Philos. Soc., 1870) as Photogenis leucops= Notropis photogenis. I am not sure, 
however, of its ideutity with the species to which the name photogenis was originally 
given. 
19. Notropis matutinus (Cope;. N. 
Rather scarce in the Neuse. 
20. Hybopsia kentuckiensis (Rafinesque). L., N.

Young common. A large plant of shad was made in the Neuse at Millburnie 
about five years ago. 
23. Gambusia patruelis (Baird & Girard). L., N. 
Common. Haplocliilus melanops Cope, from the Neuse, and Zygonectes atruatus 
Jordan & Brayton, from Little River, are both based on this species.

25. Lucius reticulatus (Lo Sueur). M., L.
