stripe rather distinct. Eye a little smaller than in Indiana specimens, SJ instead of 
3 in head ; otherwise similar. 
20. Hybopsis monachus (Cope). N. 
Scarce. Agrees with Cope’s description, and well distinguished by the small eye 
and dark dorsal spot. 
21. Hybopsis watauga Jordan & Evermann. N., W. 
Eather rare in the river channels. Closely related to H. dissimilis, but with 
smaller scales, lat. 1. 52, 22 before dorsal, and with more elongate body and less spot- 
ted coloration. 
22. Hybopsis kentuckiensis (Eafinesque). S., M., G., N., B., W., D. . 
Common everywhere. 
23. Rhinichthys cataractae (Cuv. & Val.). S. 
In cold streams. But one taken. 
24. Rhinichthys obtusus Agassiz. S., M. (Bhinichthys lunatus Cope, not type.t) 
Very abundant in cold streams, not descending to the larger rivers. 
In life, back mottled olive, with many scales blackish ; a very faint dark lateral 
band in most specimens ; belly silvery ; a broad band of creamy yellowish below the 
black lateral band, this extending on cheeks and lips ; fins all creamy ; a dark spot at 
base of caudal ; barbel longer than in atronasus, the size larger. Scales 70 ; caudal 
little forked ; upper jaw considerably projecting ; eye 5 in head. Insertion of dorsal 
midway between caudal and eye. 
This seems at firstsighttobe a species quite different from the ordinary B. atronasus 
of the Atlantic rivers. The difference is, however, chiefly one of color. The eye is larger 
and the barbel shorter in atronasus, while the jet-black lateral band is much more 
prominent. 
Specimens from Torch Lake, Michigan {B. lunatus Cope), are much like the Hol- 
ston examples. The coloration is less mottled, the lateral band is obsolete ; the mouth 
is more inferior with shorter and wider cleft. Eye 5 in head, depth 5 in length, scales 
62. Dorsal midway between nostril and base of caudal. To the same species or 
variety the specimens from Clear Creek, Bloomington, Ind., must be referred. This 
genus is still in need of careful study in order that its scarcely differentiated species 
and numerous varieties may be known. The distinctive characters given by Mr. Car- 
man in his revision of the group are not very reliable. 
25. Phenacobius uranops Cope. G., N., B., W. 
Common in the river channels; not ascending cold streams. Scales 60 ; caudal spot 
distinct. 
26. Fundulus catenatus (Storer). 
Not rare in the river at Saltville ; not seen elsewhere. 
27. Micropterus dolomieu (Lac6pfede). G., B., W., N. 
Common in the river channels ; not ascending the colder streams, hence not found 
at Marion or at Holstein Mills. 
28. Lepomis pallidus (Mitchill). G. 
Sunfishes of all kinds are scarce in the upland streams.
