7.-N0TES ON FISHES FROM THE LOWLANDS OF GEORGIA. WITH A DESCRIP- 
TION OF A NEW SPECIES (OPSOP(EODUS BOLLMANI). 
BY CHAS. H. GILBERT. 
During the latter part of June, 1889, Mr. Charles H. Bollman, assisted by Mr. Bert 
Fesler, undertook the exploration of the lowland streams of the Southern United States 
in the interests of the U. S. Fish Commission. The work was but fairly begun, when 
Mr. Bollman was prostrated by an attack of fever, which proved fatal. The following 
notes are on the material collected by him. The streams examined are thus described 
by Mr. Bollman: 
{a) Brier Creelc at Wayneshorougli, Ga. — A cold, sluggish stream, with steep banks, 
and apparently hard, sandy bottom ; about 10 feet deep, and 40 to 50 feet wide, and 
without shallow spots. The specimens were chiefly obtained in a very small lagoon, 
with muddy shores, a short distance from the main stream. 
(b) A small stream in the southern suburbs of Savannah. — This is a small, sluggish 
stream, about a mile long. At the place seined it was (i to 10 feet wide and 2 to 4 feet 
deep, with a very muddy bottom. 
(c) The Ogeeehee River at Millen, Ga. — At this point the river is deep and sluggish, 
and overhung with dense vegetation. Greatest width, 40 to 50 feet; depth, 4 to 10 
feet. On account of the depth and the character of the shores, seining was done in 
a small running lagoon, a few miles southwest of Millen. Here the water was very 
muddy, the bottom being of mud in the shallower parts near shore, and of compact 
sand in the deeper portions. Fishes were most abundant in the shallower water near 
shore, none except minnows being found in the deeper running part. 
(d) Buehhead Creelc, a tributary of the Ogeeehee River at Millen. — The stream was 
seined at the railroad bridge, 1 mile southwest of Millen. At this point the creek is 
40 to 50 feet wide, and 8 feet deep in midstream, with a bottom ot hard sand. Most of
