; DM 9,
10, 11, 16, 17, 18, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 29, 32, 33, 34, 35, 37,
38, 39, 41. In our survey the redfin shiner was the most abundant
species at several stations, especially at those in the lower and
middle portions of tributaries to the mainstream.

_Notropis cornutus frontalis_ (Agassiz). KU 1, 2, 3, 8, 11, 14; DM
16. Judging from the numbers preserved in early collections, the
common shiner was more abundant and widespread in the 1890's than
in 1959. A watershed improvement program effecting more stable flow
and decreased turbidity might benefit this shiner.

_Notropis lutrensis_ (Baird and Girard). KU 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11,
12, 13, 14, 15; UMMZ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5; DM all stations _except_ 5, 11,
12, 13, 14, 19, 35. The red shiner was ubiquitous, and was the
dominant species at a majority of stations.

_Notropis stramineus_ (Cope). KU 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15; DM
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17, 24, 25, 31, 37. The sand
shiner was most common in two environments: (1) near the mouth of
the Wakarusa where abundance of the species may be attributed to
the close proximity of a large population of _N. stramineus_ in the
Kansas River, and (2) in upland tributaries that drain areas in
which sand is found (especially in Cole Creek).

_Notropis topeka_ (Gilbert). KU 1, 14; UMMZ 1, 4, 5; DM 22, 25, 27,
33. Minckley and Cross (1959) describe the habitat of the Topeka
shiner as pools of clear upland tributaries with slight flow. We
found the Topeka shiner in such habitat in Deer Creek, Strowbridge
Creek and Burys Creek. The largest population occurred in a
tributary of Strowbridge Creek. This stream probably was
intermittent in 1958, and Deer and Burys creeks may have been
intermittent at some time in 1957-1959. Although Minckley and Cross
(1959:215) have stated that Rock Creek is "unsuitable for this
species," we suspect that Rock Creek served as a refugium for _N.
topeka_ in time of drought. It was found there (KU 14) in 1952, and
again (DM 16) on April 8, 1960.

_Notropis buchanani_ Meek. UMMZ 3. Inclusion of the ghost shiner is
based on two specimens (UMMZ 63107) collected by C. W. Creaser in
1924.

_Phenacobius mirabilis_ (Girard). KU 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15;
UMMZ 4; DM 3, 6, 16, 18, 21, 22, 34. The suckermouth minnow
occurred in several collections but
