Geographic Variation in the North American Cyprinid Fish, Hybopsis gracilis
Cross, Frank B. (Frank Bernard)
Cyprinidae; Fishes -- North America
Mention is made of fish only twice in the entire log. We doubt that
Muddy Creek or the East Laramie River is the type locality of _P.
gulonellus_, because the flathead chub has not since been found in
either of these streams. The most likely collection site for _P.
gulonellus_ is the North Platte River near the mouth of Sage Creek, in
what is now Carbon County, Wyoming, where the expedition was camped for
three days. This species is known to occur in the North Platte River,
and since the type locality is reported as "near Bridger's Pass" this is
the probable location.
_Range_ (Plate 21).--Upper mainstream and tributaries of Rio Grande,
Pecos, Arkansas and North Platte Rivers; isolated populations in
tributaries of the upper Missouri River.
_Specimens examined._--Below are listed museum numbers, number of
specimens (in parentheses), localities and year of collection. Series
marked by asterisks (*) are intergrades tending toward _H. g.
gulonella_. Literature reports are cited in the synonymy.
