57-63 ; Boston, May 10, 1881. 
This short paper is devoted to the genus Rhinichthys. Descriptions are given 
of what Professor Garman then regarded as 15 species belonging to this genus, 3 
of \vhich (Rhinichthys oceila, R. badius, and R. simus) were described as new. One 
of these 15 nominal species (R. simus, which equals R. dulcis ) is based on specimens 
which came from Ooahuila, Mexico.

ida, and Galveston, Texas, with Description of New Species. Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. 1882,

In March, 1882, Dr. Jordan made extensive collections of fishes at Pensacola and 
Galveston, the results of the study of which were given in the above-named paper. 
The number of species obtained at Galveston was 51, of which 3 were described as 
new. These 51 species were all obtained in Galveston Bay and the immediate vicinity, 
and are, of course, all salt-water fishes with the exception of a few brackish- water 
species. The following table contains the Texan species mentioned in this paper, 
with the present identification of each :

1883. David S. Jordan and Charles H. Gilbert. Synopsis of the Fishes of North America. 
In the Synopsis only a few definite Texas localities are given, these being taken from 
the various preceding papers. There is, therefore, no additional information contained 
in the Synopsis regarding the geographic distribution of fishes in this region. 
1884. David S. Jordan and Seth E. Meek. Description of Four New Species of Cyprinidce in the 
United States National Museum. <Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. 1884, 474-477. 
One of these four minnows is Notropis venustus , described in this paper as Cliola 
ufostigma , from specimens collected in Clear Greek near Hempstead, by Messrs. Lud- 
wig Kumlein and B. Edward Earll, and others collected in the San Saba River by Mr. 
W. W. Anderson.
