3. _Moxostoma carinatum._

4. _Minytrema melanops._ One specimen taken at station G-10 near the

mouth of Crab Creek constitutes the present westernmost record. A

specimen has been taken by Cross (C-24-51) in the headwaters of the

Walnut River.

5. _Notropis boops._ The westernmost record is station G-5 on Grouse

Creek. This fish has been reported slightly west of this in Oklahoma on

Big Beaver Creek in Kay County (number 4776, Oklahoma A & M College

Museum of Zoology).

6. _Notropis volucellus._ Two specimens were taken at station G-8 on

Silver Creek.

7. _Percina copelandi._ The westernmost record is from station G-1, two

miles above the mouth of Grouse Creek.

The easternmost occurrences of four species are in the area studied.

These species are _Hybopsis aestivalis tetranemus_ (Station A-2),

_Notropis blennius_ (Station A-1), _Notropis girardi_ (Station A-2),

and _Fundulus kansae_ (Station A-2 and Walnut River). These fish are

associated with the Arkansas River proper and its sandy western

tributaries. In Oklahoma, these fish are found in the Arkansas River

as it proceeds eastward and in the downstream portions of some of its

tributaries. These fish show little tendency to ascend the streams of

the Flint Hills.
