Part 2 of this report is “A report upon investigations made in Texas in 1891.” Of 
the fishes collected during these investigations only the Cyprinidce and Cyprinodon- 
tidce were reported upon at that time. Thirty-one species of these two families were 
given, ten of which were described as new.

This paper also contains a brief review of the species of the genus Pantosteus , 
together with a list of the specimens now contained in the National Museum and the 
localities from which they were obtained. 
LIST SHOWING THE SPECIES OF EACH FAMILY OF FISHES REPRESENTED IN 
THE TEXAN AND RIO GRANDE FAUNA. 
From the following list it appears that the fishes of this region represent 51 families^ 
137 genera, and 230 species. The family having the greatest number of species is, 
of course, the Cyprinidce, the number being 55; the Cyprinodontidce come next with 
19 species, and then the Percidce with 16 species. The genus Notropis is represented 
by 27 species, this being the greatest number of species found in this region belong- 
ing to a single genus. Of these 230 species, 100 (or 43 per cent) have been taken only 
in salt water or brackish water, 120 (or 52 per cent) have been recorded only from 
fresh water, while 10 species (4 per cent) have been taken in both salt and fresh 
water. The number of fresh- water species known from the Wabash River basin is 
130, this being 10 more than the number now known from the vast area covered by 
this paper; but the Wabash basin is probably the richest in species and individuals 
of any river basin of similar size in North America. Many of the species of this list 
have been described as new species, the types of which came from this region. Under 
each recognized species we have given the various names under which it has been so 
described.
