FOWLER: XKW ENGLAND FISHES. 115 
there is always at least a second dark narrow streak parallel with the 
median lateral band, though well separated from it by a rather i)road 
vermilion space, extending from each sitie of occiput back toward bases 
of upper rays of upper caudal lobe. In young examples this is most 
conspicuous, though it becomes broken into several blotches as it 
reaches caudal peduncle, and its width not quite equal to that of dark 
median lateral i)and. In the larger examples it is narrower and fades 
out about opposite anal. In the medium-sized and smaller examples 
there is evidence of still a third or superior streak in a series of dusky 
spots or blotches a little irregular, and these tending to converge with 
inferior streak, above anal. Below dark lateral streak, which extends 
from eye, but very few if any dots of dusky sprinkled about, such as 
those on most other examples. As several small examples of another 
series show the second or upper dark lateral streak extending along 
the upper side of the back, though little or no traces of the third 
or uppermost, it is evident these particular specimens are identical 
with this variety. However, many cot^^pical or topotypical examples 
show only a single median dark lateral band. 
This species is very similar to Chrosomus crythrogaster in appearance, 
and though easily distinguished by the presence of two rows of pharyn- 
geal teeth, several external characters are diagnostic. Such are the 
more inclined lower jaw and stouter caudal peduncle. In framing 
these notes the type and cotypes of the species have been carefully 
examined and compared.
