known to many commercial fishermen. A specimen, tak-

*Centrarchus macro pterus (Lacépéde) —The flier is 
resented by a specimen from Cairo, Illinois, (Bar- 
kol & Starrett 1951) and is probably accidental in

cies is uncommon in the upper Mississippi. 
*Lepomis microlophus (Giinther).—The redear sun-

L951); 
*Micropterus punctulatus (Rafinesque).—The spot- 
ted bass, taken only below the mouth of the Missouri 
River, is probably accidental in the Mississippi. A pub-

Ammocrypta asprella (Jordan).—The crystal darter 
is represented by records for pools 6 (UMRCC 1953)

pool 11 (Greene 1935:174) is not plotted because of 
its age. 
Ammocrypta clara Jordan & Meek.—The western 
sand darter occurs between Lake Pepin and the mouth 
of the Missouri River, and it is locally common. Sup-
