Piofessor Cope says that " they attain one foot in length, and do not exceed one pound in weight". I have specimens a foot and a half long and of three pounds or more weight. In the Ocmulgee, the species is next to M. ccrvinum the most abundant, iifld is called the White Mullet, or Sucker. Professor Cope found it quite abundant in the Catawba and the Yadkin Eivcrs, where it "is hi;,'bly valued by tbo as an article of food. It is regarded as the best of the Catostomi for that purpose. It is less frequently caught r)ti the hook than some other species, but in the autumn, they come upon the weirs in considerable numbers. The fishermen call it tlio'Sbiner'." ⢠Specimens in (he United Slatrt Xutionil Museum. crlI>-H isilii'H Number. inticH 14989 i'or'l Thel lAVMi 1h:.;!7 lH:,;ts iM'iiH iHUTil .J aOlKH) \M '~ Locality.
