Habitat.âMississippi Valley ; generally abaiidant in the larger streams. Au examiiiiition of a large series of widemoutbed Buffalo flshe^t from the Ohio, Wabash, Illinois, aud Mississippi Rivers has convinced me, contiaiy to my previous impressions, that all belong to a single species. It is not absolutely certain what RaOnesque's CatostomuH huhalus was. It is perhaps as likely to have been a species of Buba- lichthys, as supposed by Dr. Kirtland, as an Ichthyobua. I however follow Professor Agassiz in identifying it witli the present species, which is, at the Falls of the Ohio, where Ratinesque's collections were made, |)robably the most abundant of the Buffalo-fishes. Neither Uaflnesque nor Professor Agassiz has, however, recognizably described tlie species. In my Manual of Vertebrates, in 1870,1 gave a short account oi Ichthyobus bubalus,i\rsiwn from two large specimens taken in Wabash River at Lafayette. Besides these, I have numerous smaller ilit with him that it was probably distinct from /. bubaluH. Lately I I bv(>b(>(Mi enabled toro-examinethetypeof/.
