Fishes of the Verd e River, Ariz ona. 
On January 11, 1885, I netted a large number of fishes. The 
largest specimen was about six inches in length, and others were 
not more than an inch long. They were all caught along the margin 
of the Rio Verde, opposite to the post of Fort Verde. All of the 
larger ones were Cato stomidae, and the smaller ones were minnows 
and the young of the fish called "Bony-tail", "Gila Trout", or 
"Verde Trout" (Gila_), at least I think they are the fry 
of that species. They are preserved in four bottles in alcohol. 
The largest bottle contains the largest specimens. They are all 
Catostomus cyp ho Lockington. Among them are a few specimens of a 
paler coloration, larger-scaled, and having 12 instead of 15 dorsal 
rays. 
Another bottle contains about 50 minnows, and a few dark- 
spotted, terete, small-eyed fishes resembling Rhin iphthvs atronasus. 
The two small bottles contain mixed specimens of the several 
species and forms above mentioned. 
(These were sent to Am. Mus., N. Y.)
