In case the one stream Hows northward and the otliei soi ward, the common fauna will be nearest like that of the northein strtanii In Northern Indiana, the same species are found in the waters of Saiiii Joseph's, Maumee, Wabash, and Illinois Rivers, alttiouyh these stica dischar};e their waters in widely aln'linus J'oit'.imilii J'Jricymha bnccita, Scinotilits corporalis, Chronomnn ert/tlir(>(\ i!ii species of Rhiuirhtln/i<, etc. Of channel spe<!ies, Jlaploidonoti'N, Ihjml i Dorosoma, romolobun, Poccvs chri/sopH, all the " Unllalo fishes'', iiiul tli| larger Siliiridw, IchUuvlurus i)inicioiuK, JU'l<i<liclilln/s (ilicaris, Amuia 7ii(/i icons, and the like, will serve as examples.

This sulije<!t has been ably disciisscdl Professer Cope, but I'urthei' investigations, especially of the rivers ot tlij Southern â Htates, are very desirable. IX. This diilerence between the upper fauna and the lower is (liic t| ditlerencL's in the character of the river itself, such as climate, coiKliiii of water, character ot river-bed, supi)ly of food, etc. X.
