tropis cMlitieus. 
1. Noturus iusignis (Richardson). 
Common, as everywhere. 
2. Ameiurus platycephalus (Girard). 
Very abundant in the river. 
3. Ameiurus albidus (Le Sueur). 
One specimen. A. 22. Caudal forked. 
4. Hybognathus nuchalis Agassiz. 
Common. 
5. Notropis saludanus (Jordan & Brayton). 
Not rare. Very pale; head 4 to 4J in length; most specimens with a black caudal 
spot. 
6. Notropis chiliticus (Cope). 
Not rare. In life, light green, a distinct silvery lateral band. Lips, snout, and 
middle of dorsal, anal, and caudal vermilion. Whole body flushed with red in males; 
usually a black caudal spot. A strongly marked species, allied to N. chlorocephalus, 
N. clialybceus, altipinnis, etc. It is less robust in form than V. altipinnis, the head 
more slender, and the mouth larger. 
7. Notropis niveus (Cope). 
Common. These specimens seem to be of the typical N. niveus. One old male 
has the body very elongate, the dorsal high. In life more or less bluish, silvery below ; 
a black dorsal blotch ; male with dorsal and caudal pale yellowish brown ; the tips of 
the fins and the anal milky. 
8. Notropis pyrrhomelas (Cope). 
Common. This species is well distinguished at all ages by the large eye and mouth 
and the long anal (of 10 rays) in connection with the black dorsal blotch. Most speci- 
mens show a black blotch at base of caudal.
