Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact.

American Naturalist forD ecember, 1871 and January, 1872, with the exception of theS ynopsis of the family including theB lind fishes of the cave, which was first published in the Annual Keport of the Peabody Academy of Science for 1871. In bringing the several articles together in the present form but slight changes have been made, principally in the form of a few additional notes. It will undoubtedly be the good fortune of some visitors to the cave to discover other kinds of animals than those mentioned in the following pages, and to observe new facts relating to the habits of the various species. For it must be remembered that all the observations thus far recorded have been made by but a very few of the thousands who annually visit theM ammoth Cave, and that no thorough zoological exploration of the cave has yet been undertaken. Should any new facts be observed, or unknown species discovered, the authors of this little work would be pleased to be informed of them, and communications on all such matters are solicited for publication in the pages of the AMERICAN NATURALIST.

Not illustrated. 1872 Excerpt: ... is slightly the largest. In L. dentatus the procencephalon and the optic lobes are represented as divided into right and left lobes, as in Amblyopsis, and the cerebellum does not extend laterally over the medulla oblongata as in L. subterraneus, but, as in Amblyopsis (PI. 1, fig. Id), is not so broad as the medulla, and, projecting forwards, covers a much larger portion of the optic lobes than is the case in L. subterraneus. The Cuban blind fish has the body, cheeks and opercular bones covered with scales. As in Amblyopsis the eves exist, but are so imbedded in the flesh of the head as to be of no use. The outline cut here given (Fig. 1), copied from Poey, is very characteristic of the form of the fish, but does not.exhibit the fleshy cilia or details of scaling. The first notice that I can find of the Mammoth Cave blind fish is that contained in the " Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia," Vol. 1, page 175, where is recorded the presentation of a specimen to the Academy by W. T. Craige, M. D., at the Meeting held on May 24, 1842, in the following words:--"A white, eyeless crayfish (Astacus Bartoni?) and a small white fish, also eyeless (presumed to belong to a subgenus of Silurus), both taken from a small stream called the 'River Styx' in the Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, about two and one-half miles from the entrance." Dr. DeKay in his "Natural History of New York, Fishes," page 187, published in 1842, describes the fish, from a poor specimen in MaMMOTH CaVE. 3 the Cabinet of the Lyceum of Natural History of New York, under the name of Amblyopsis spelceus.-DeKay's description is on the whole so characteristic of the fish as to leave no doubt as to the species he had before him, though the statement that i...
