60. Micropterus dolomieu (Lac6p5de). V-, M. 
In the river only. 
61. Micropterus salmoides (Lac6p&de). P., M., V., W., B. 
In iionds and bayous chiefly. 
62. Btheostoma pellucidum Baird. W., M. 
63. Btheostoma asprellus (Jordan). V., W. 
Specimens of very large size, the largest 5^ inches long. Scales 98. Three broad 
oblique black shades across back, extending downwards and forwards to lateral line; 
these about as wide as the interspaces. 
64. Btheostoma nigrum (Eafinesque). V., W., P., B., G., M., C. 
Very common. 
65. Btheostoma chlorosoma (Hay). W., C., M. (Boleoaoma camwrum Forbes.) 
Scales 45 ; lateral line incomplete. 
66. Btheostoma copelandi (Jordan). W., V. 
Scarce. Scales 48. 
67. Btheostoma histrio Jordan & Gilbert. P. 
Seven specimens, some of them considerably larger than any of the original types. 
Blotch at base of caudal very distinct. Cheeks naked; opercles naked or with some 
large scales. Scales 53 ; dorsal spines 10. Premaxillaries protractile, in some speci- 
mens with a slight frenum at base, crossed by a crease. The species seems to be an 
ally of E. sinioterum, and should be placed with the latter in the subgenus Ulocentra. 
68. Btheostoma shumardi (Girard). V., W. 
Many fine large specimens, 3 to 3^ inches in length ; belly largely orange-yellow in 
life. Anal very high. Scales 52; scales of belly small, those of the middle line cadu- 
cous ; premaxillaries usually distinctly protractile, one specimen, however, with a small 
but unmistakable frenum at base of premaxillaries. 
69. Btheostoma uranidea (Jordan & Gilbert). V., W. 
Many specimens 3 to 3J inches long, much larger than the original types ; grayish 
above, yellow or orange below ; an obscure lateral band of dark blotches ; four black 
oblique bands extending downward and forward on back. Cheeks naked ; opercles 
scaly. Scales 52; median line of belly with slightly enlarged scales, which are proba- 
bly caducous. This handsome species is closely allied to E. shumardi and belongs to 
the group called Imostoma. 
70. Btheostoma caprodes Eatinesque. M., V., W., P., B. 
71. Btheostoma phoxocephalum Nelson. C., V., W., P. 
Common. 
72. Btheostoma aspro (Cope & Jordan). W., C. 
Eather scarce. 
73. Btheostoma ouachitae (Jordan & Gilbert). P. 
Five specimens, 2^ to 3 inches long, larger than the original types from Washita 
(Ouachita) Eiver, Arkansas. Scales 52 to 5(i, The close resemblance of this species 
to the eastern E. peltatum has been already noticed. 
74. Btheostoma scierum (Swain). V., P., W. 
Common. Scales 68; ventral scales slightly enlarged but probably caducous; color 
very similar to that of E. aspro, but with usually three dark spots at base of caudal
