Philos. Soc. Phila. 463. This species, the most ornate of the genus, and one of the most bril- liant of Cyprinidce, in extremely abundant in the clear rapid waters of the Saluda and its tributaries. The general color of the males is dark steel-blue above, with the scales darker-edged, the btlly abruptly milky- nhite. The head is pale reddish; the snout, the tip of lower ja«v, and the ids above and below are scarlet; the dorsal fin is dusky at base, has a large black spot on the last rays, is red in front, and broadly milk- white at tip. The tips of the caudal fin are milk-white; next to this cotoes a dusky crescent; a wide bright scarlet crescent lies iuside of the black and extends into the two lobes of the tin. The base of the tin is pale. ⢠The top of the head and the region in front of the dorsal are covered with small pale tubercles. The sides of the caudal peduncle are pro- vided with rather larger tubercles, ar-auged in rows along the series of scales. This is the most abundant fish in the waters of Catawba River, accord- lug to Professor Cope. Genus NOTROPIS Bafinesque. (il/tnni/«s Kafiuesque; Alhurndlus GivavA.) 20.
