The westernmost records for seven species are in the area studied.

1.Lepisosteus platostomus.

2.Carpiodes velifer.

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 areHybopsis aestivalis tetranemus(Station A-2),Notropis blennius(Station A-1),Notropis girardi(Station A-2), andFundulus 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.

The fish fauna of the area studied is transitional between the Ozarkian and Great Plains faunas.

Fluctuation in water level seemed especially important in determining distribution of fishes in the area studied. Variable climate characteristic of the region studied causes recurrent floods and intermittency in streams. Both of these conditions have probably been accentuated by man's modifications of the habitat. The effects of intermittency were most strikingly demonstrated in small creeks of the uplands. The number of species of fish in the highly intermittent streams was small—especially in the uppermost pools sampled—but the actual number of fish was often high even though the number of species was low. In several instances the only fishes found in these isolated pools wereLepomis cyanellusandIctalurus melas. This phenomenon of concentrated numbers of individuals of a few species would indicate the presence of limitingfactors that allow only those species most tolerant of the particular factor to flourish.

Soon after rains restored flow in these intermittent creeksL. cyanellusandI. melasappeared in parts of the channels that had previously been several miles from the nearest water. Rapid upstream movements of other species after rains was also noted.

It was impossible to ascertain the precise effects of gradient and bottom-type on distribution, but certain species such asNotropis blennius,Notropis girardi, andFundulus kansaewere taken only in streams with sandy bottoms.Notropis deliciosusandHybognathus placitawere most abundant over sandy bottoms.

The high gradient of upland tributaries in the Flint Hills area produced turbulence and bottoms predominantly of rubble. A fauna of whichEtheostoma spectabileandCampostoma anomalumwere characteristic existed in these waters while they were flowing. As flow decreased and intermittency commenced, qualitative and quantitative changes in the fish faunas were observed. Gradient did not change during drought, but turbulence did. Because turbulence varies with water level as well as gradient, the effect of gradient on fish distribution ultimately is linked to climate.

Probably the small number of fish taken on the Walnut River in comparison with other eastern Kansas rivers (Verdigris, Neosho) results, in part, from the long-term pollution of the stream noted by Clapp (1920:33) and Doze (1924). No percid fishes, black bass, or madtom catfish were taken on the Walnut in Cowley County and the species ofNotropisnumbered only three.

Four faunal associations seem to be recognizable in the area.

This fauna containedNotropis girardi,Notropis blennius,Hybopsis aestivalis tetranemus, andFundulus kansaewhich, in this area, did not seem to wander far from the sandy main stream of the Arkansas. Minnows abounded;Notropis lutrensisandN. deliciosus missuriensispredominated; andNotropis girardi,N. percobromus, andHybognathus placitawere common. In quiet backwaters, coves, and shallow poolsGambusia affinisoccurred in great numbers.Lepisosteus osseusseemed to be the most important predator.

The Walnut River in Cowley County supported large populations of deep-bodied suckers, carp, and gar.Notropis lutrensisandN. percobromuswere characteristic minnows.Lepomishumilisabounded at some stations. The fauna of the main stream of the Walnut River was somewhat intermediate between that of the Arkansas River and that of the three streams considered below. Fifteen of the species common to the Big Caney, Elk, and Grouse systems were also taken in the Walnut River main stream. Thirteen species were common to the Walnut and Arkansas rivers. Seven species were common to all these streams.

This fauna includes fishes living not only in the main streams but also in the lower parts of the larger tributaries of these streams. The fauna was comparatively rich: in the main stream of Big Caney River 39 species were taken, in Grouse Creek 35 species, in the Walnut River main stream 21 species, and in the Arkansas River 19 species. It has been pointed out that large rivers such as the Walnut and Arkansas have been subjected to greater direct and indirect modification by man, possibly resulting in a less diverse fauna than would otherwise occur in these streams. At present, there is a paucity of ecological niches in the upland tributaries and large rivers, as compared with streams of intermediate size. Fishes typical of the Caney-Elk-Grouse association wereNotropis umbratilis,Lepomis megalotis,Lepomis humilis,Labidesthes sicculus,Fundulus notatus, and the two species ofMicropterus (Micropterus punctulatuswas not taken in Grouse Creek).

Tributary faunas were divisible into two categories: (1) Those of the Walnut River and Grouse Creek (intermittency was severe, species were few, withIctalurus melasandLepomis cyanelluspredominating); (2) those of Big Caney River (stream-flow was more stable, and eastern fishes, some of which have Ozarkian affinities, occurred in greater abundance than in any other part of the area surveyed). In the latter streamsCampostoma anomalumandEtheostoma spectabileusually were dominant.Pimephales notatus,Notropis volucellus,N. camurus,N. boops, andN. rubelluscharacteristically occurred.Notropis lutrensiswas sparsely represented in flowing tributaries.Notropis umbratilis, which seems to prefer habitats intermediate between those ofNotropis lutrensisand Ozarkian shiners, was usually represented. Deep-bodied suckers and carp were not taken in upland tributaries butMoxostoma erythrurumwas common andMinytrema melanopswas taken.

The kinds and numbers of shiners (Notropis) taken at differentpoints along Grouse Creek seem significant.N. lutrensisandN. umbratilisoccurred throughout the stream but were rare in sluggish areas where populations ofGambusia affinis,Fundulus notatus, andLabidesthes sicculusflourished. At the lowermost stationNotropis percobromusandN. buchananiwere taken; these were not present in other collections. In the uppermost stations where water remained plentiful,N. boopsandN. volucelluswere taken, andN. rubellushas been recorded.

In the broader distributional sense those fishes that seemed most tolerant of intermittency (Lepomis cyanellus,Lepomis humilis,Ictalurus melas,Notropis lutrensis) are widely distributed in the Arkansas River Basin, and are common in the western part of the Arkansas River Basin. Species less tolerant of intermittency areNotropis boops,Notropis camurus,Notropis rubellus,Notropis volucellus, andPimephales tenellus; they have not been taken far west of the area studied, and become more common east of it.
