102 BULLETIN OF THE UNITED STATES FISH COMMISSION. 
The following notes have been made upon the type specimens of these various nominal species, 
all of which are now in the National Museum : 
Moniana lutrensis (No. 104). Four specimens, 14 to If inches long, in fair condition. Head, 3f; 
depth, 34; eye, 4; D. i, 8; A. i, 9; scales, 7-34-3. These specimens are very dark and look 
as though they had been taken in muddy water or water containing staining matter. These 
were collected by Capt. George B. McClellan in 1853. 
Moniana gracilis (No. 116). Four specimens, If inches long. These are all males, in good 
condition. Head, 3f; depth, 34; eye, 3f; D. i, 7; A. i, 8; scales, 7-35-3. 
Moniana couchi (No. 103 or, new series, 20227). Two specimens, If and 24 inches, respectively, 
in good condition. Head, 3f; depth, 34; eye, 3| ; snout, 3f; D. i, 8; A. i, 8; scales, 7-35-3. 
One of the two has the head a little longer (34) and the depth a trifle less (34). There 
are in another bottle 32 small specimens, 14 of them under If inches each, that are a part of 
the types of M. couchi. They are all in very good condition and agree perfectly with the 
types of M. lutrensis. 
Hypsilepis iris (No. 16976). One specimen, 24 inches long, in fair condition. Head, 3f; 
depth, 34; eye, 44,=snout; D. i, 8; A. i, 9; scales 7-33-2; height of dorsal fin 14 in length 
of head, 14 in base of fin. Three other bottles (Nos. 16976, 16977, and 16980) contain several 
dozen small minnows in poor condition. They are all from San Ildefonso, N. Mex., and are 
labeled as the types of Hypsilepis iris. Most of them are that species, but each bottle 
contains also a number of specimens of Bhinichthys dulcis, Leuciscus pulchellus, and perhaps 
still other species. 
58. Notropis proserpina (Grd.). Devil River (as Moniana proserpina types, Girard, 1856, and Girard, 
1859). Piedra Painte, N. Mex. (as Moniana aurata types, Girard, 1856, and Girard, 1859, pi. 
xxx, figs. 13-16). There are in the Museum 8 specimens (117=2702) marked as the types of 
this species; the largest is 2f inches long, and all are in fairly good condition. Head, 4f; 
depth, 4; eye, 34; D. x, 8; A. i, 7; scales, 6-36-3, the lateral line interrupted; snout blunt 
and decurved, the lower jaw included, and the mouth small; side with a broad greenish, 
plumbeous band. 
59. Notropis formosus (Grd.). Rio Mimbres, Chihuahua (as Moniana formosa types, Girard, 1856, and 
Girard, 1859, pi. xxx, figs. 5-8). Rio Mimbres (as Cliol a formosa, Synopsis). 
60. Notropis bubalinus (Baird & Girard). Otter Creek, Arkansas (as Leuciscus bubalinus types, Baird 
& Girard, 1853) . Coal Creek, a southern tributary of Canadian River, Arkansas, and 20 miles 
west of Choctaw Agency (as Cyprinella umbrosa types, Girard, 1856, and Girard, 1858, pi. lvii, 
figs. 1-5). Otter Creek, a tributary of the north fork of Red River, Arkansas (as Cyprinella 
- bubalina , Girard, 1856, and Girard, 1858). Brownsville (as Cyprinella bubalina, Jordan, 1878). 
The types of C. umbrosa are in excellent condition; they consist of 4 specimens, each about 
3 inches long, and were collected by H. B. Mollhausen. They give the following measure- 
ments: Head, 3§; depth, 24; eye, 34; D. i, 8; A. I, 9; -scales, 7-35-3, 13 before the dorsal. 
This species is chiefly distinguished by the great depth of the body. 
61. Notropis lepidus (Grd.). Rio Frio, a tributary of the Rio Nueces (as Cyprinella lepida types, 
Girard, 1856, and Girard, 1858, pi. lvxii, figs. 21-25). Rio Frio (as Cliola lepida, Synopsis). 
62. Notropis garmani Jordan. Tributaries of Lago del Muerte, Parras, Coahuila, Mexico (as 
Cyprinella rubripinna types, Garman, 1881), and same locality (as Cliola rubripinna, Synopsis, 
and as Notropis garmani nom. sp. nov., Jordan, 1885). 
63. Notropis macrostomus (Grd.). Devil River, Texas, and China, New Leon, Mexico (as Cyprinella 
macrostoma types, Girard, 1856, and Girard, 1859, pi. xxxi, figs. 5-8. San Pedro Creek, 
tributary of Rio San Antonio (as Cyprinella luxiloides types, Girard, 1856, and Girard, 1859, 
pi. xxxi, figs. 13-16). The types of this species are three specimens (U. S. N. M. No. 129), 
the largest 24 inches long, the other two If inches each, in fair condition. Head, 3§ ; depth, 
3£; eye 3, greater than snout; mouth large, maxillary reaching pupil. D. i, 8; A. i, 8; 
scales, 5-36-3; origin of dorsal fin nearer snout than base of caudal. 
64. Notropis venustus (Grd.). Rio Sabinal (as Cyprinella venusta types, Girard, 1856, and Girard, 
1859, pi. xxxi, figs. 1-4). Johnson Fork of Llano River ( Cyprinella venusta, Cope, 1880). 
San Saba River and Clear Creek (as Cliola urostigma types, Jordan & Meek, 1884). Red 
River at Fulton, Ark., Sabine River at Longview, Rio Lampasas at Belton, and Rio Colorado
