Newer Names of Yellowstone Park Fishes
Simon JR. 1937. Newer Names of Yellowstone Park Fishes. Yellowstone Nature Notes. 14(3-4):19-20
Many scientific names of Yellowstone Park fishes have been changed in the past sixteen years. At present there is need for a list which will place the park fish fauna in accord with the latest classifications. Changes in the names of Yellowstone fishes have resulted entirely from formalities of fish classification and not from correction of any mistakes in identification.The list following is a comparison of the names given in Smith and Kendall, "Fishes of the Yellowstone National Park," Bureau of Fisheries Document, No. 904, 1921, with the names now used to apply to the same species. In some cases these names have remained unchanged; in others trinomial names are used in preference to binomial; and in still others, generic or specific or both generic and specific names are changed.
