Kentucky Fishes

Faxon's specimen, the species has been considered endemic to the Ten- 
nessee River drainage. 
Notropis heterolepis Eigenmann and Eigenmann. Blacknose shiner. 
Reported by Turner (1959) from Rough River, but no specific locality 
was given and no specimens from the state are known to exist. Since N. 
boops is present in the same area and is superficially similar, I assume the 
record of N. heterolepis was actually based on N. boops. However, there is 
a relict population of N. heterolepis in central Tennessee, so it possibly 
occurs or once did occur in Kentucky. Until a verified record is available, 
however, it seems best to delete it from the state faunal list. 
Notropis hubbsi Bailey and Robison. Bluehead shiner. Known from 
adjacent southern Illinois in Wolf Lake, Union County (Bailey and 
Robison 1978, Smith 1979), and should be looked for in lowland lakes in 
western Kentucky. 
Rhinichthys cataractae (Valenciennes). Longnose dace. Known from 
the Cumberland River in adjacent Tennessee where it is sporadically dis- 
tributed. Possible in the upper Cumberland and Big Sandy River 
drainages, Kentucky. 
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.— This list could not have been completed 
without the efforts of many persons who over the years have 
collected fishes in Kentucky. I am especially grateful to Lawrence M. 
Page, Philip W. Smith, Marvin E. Braasch, Richard L. Mayden, Michael 
E. Retzer, Steven D. Ogle, and Patti A. Burr for assistance in Field work. 
I am grateful to the following curators and their institutions for 
granting specimen loans, providing laboratory space, assisting with 
locality records, and other courtesies: Tomio Iwamoto (CAS); Robert K. 
Johnson (FMNH); Camm Swift, formerly at FSU; Philip W. Smith and 
Lawrence M. Page (INHS); Benjie Kinman and Ronald R. Cicerello 
(KFW); Donald Harker and Melvin L. Warren, Jr. (KNP); Marvin E. 
Braasch, formerly at KU; Karsten Hartel (MCZ); Donald Johnson 
(MSU); Neil H. Douglas (NLU); Royal D. Suttkus (TU); William D. 
Pearson (UL); Reeve M. Bailey and Ellie Koon (UMMZ); A. P. Blair 
and Hague Lindsey (UTULSAC); and Robert D. Hoyt (WKU). 
The drainage maps were adapted by myself and Karen Schmidtt 
from several base maps purchased from the Kentucky Department of 
Commerce, Frankfort. The county map was compiled by the Kentucky 
Department of Commerce, Frankfort (1964, Base Map Series B-5). 
For critical review of the manuscript I am grateful to Drs. Philip W. 
Smith and Lawrence M. Page, Illinois Natural History Survey.
