1859&. Charles Girard, m. d., Ichthyological Notices, Nos. i-lxxvii. < Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci., 
Phila. 1859. 
This is a series of brief notes or papers upon fishes from various regions. No- 
tices 10, 30 to 36 inclusive, 39, 42 to 50 inclusive, 54 to 59 inclusive, and 62 refer to 
Texas and Eio Grande fishes. Twenty-six species are mentioned, of which 19 are 
described as new. Six of these are still allowed to stand, though the proper identi- 
fication of some of them is doubtful.

3872«. Edward D. Cope, a. m. Eeport upon the Recent Reptiles and Fishes of the Survey, 
collected hy Campbell Carrington and C. M. Dawes. Prelim. Report U. S. Geol. Surv. of 
Montana and Portions of Adjacent Territories, being a fifth annual report of progress, 
1872, 467-476. 
The material upon which this report was based was collected chiefly in Montana, 
Idaho, and IJtah, but two species of fishes, however, were obtained in a tributary of 
the Eio Grande at Sangre de Christo Pass, in Colorado. One of these was a minnow, 
Leuciscus pulcher , which Prof. Cope described as Clinostomus pandora , while the other 
was the Eio Grande trout, which was described under the name of Salmo spilurus. 
1875. Prof. E. D. Cope and Dr. H. C. Yarrow. Report upon the Collections of Fishes made in 
portions of Nevada, Utah, California, New Mexico, and Arizona, during the years 1871, 
1872, 1873, and 1874. Zoology of the Wheeler Survey, 637-700, 1875. 
The geographical explorations and surveys west of the one hundredth meridian, 
conducted under the direction of Lieut. Geo. M. Wheeler, during the years 1871 to 
87 4, inclusive, resulted in greatly increasing our knowledge of the fishes of the 
upper Eio Grande basin. The naturalists attached to these various expeditions 
were, as is well known, Dr. H. C. Yarrow, Prof. E. D. Cope, Dr. J. T. Eothrock, Mr. 
H. W. Ilenshaw, Dr. Oscar Loew, Mr. W. G. Shedd, Mr. C. E. Aiken, and Lieut. 
W. L. Marshall. In the report upon the fishes of this survey, written by Cope and 
Yarrow, 18 species are credited to the Eio Grande basin, of which 5 were described 
as new to science.
