SUMMARY OF THE ZOOLOGICAL COLLECTIONS. 
Nos. 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. Fishes.Zuni river, N. M. 
The Zuni river is a small stream of pure, clear water, emptying into the Little 
Colorado. We took fishes from it at several different localities, and found among 
them at least four distinct species; two of which we recognized as the Gila robusta 
and Gila gracilis, the latter being by far the most numerous. The others were 
believed to he new to science.

Although we were encamped on this stream at several places for some days, and 
although we searched it thoroughly, we were obliged to content ourselves with a 
single specimen. The absence of fishes at these places may, probably, he accounted 
for to some extent by the character of the stream itself. Its waters were loaded 
with sand, which was carried rapidly along by the current; besides, it was gene¬ 
rally shallow", and offered no quiet pools as resting places; nor was there any grass 
or wrneds or hushes in it, hut its bottom was a continuous quicksand. The specimen 
procured measured about three inches in length; general color, white and silvery, 
with very small scales, belonging to the sucker family, hut its genus was unknown.
