146 . Lepomis miniatus Jordan. “Red Perch.” Brought, to the Houston market from the San 
Jacinto River at Lynchburg. It was also found by us in San Antonio Springs. Sides of 
male with about 14 rows of red spots, those of the lower rows very bright; middle of side 
with a few scales with black spots, and some black on scales under the pectorals ; opercular 
flap large, broad, and dark green in color ; belly orange, with red spots. Gill-rakers stout 
and not very short. Scales, 6-36-11 ; 5 rows on cheek. We have compared this species with 
specimens of L. auritus from Raleigh, N. C., and can not agree with Bollman in regarding 
them as being the same. It is doubtful if L. garmani can be separated from this species.

Specimens were obtained by us in the Houston market which had come from the San Jacinto 
River at Lynchburg. Life colors, dark-greenish above, gradually becoming brassy toward 
the belly, which is light-brassy; opercular spot greenish-black; the flap with a broad 
blood-red border in the male, but without it in the female ; no spot on dorsal or anal. Three 
of the five specimens obtained from the San Jacinto River are each 7 inches in total length, 
and the other two are 6 inches each. The figure of this species in the report of the Mexican 
Boundary Survey is very poor, the depth being too great and the back too greatly arched.
