The capture of a single humpback chub (Gila <br />cypha) in Cross Mountain Canyon (Aug 1982) is <br />described. This was the first report of this <br />rare endangered species in the Yampa River <br />since 1962 and the most upstream capture <br />record. The capture of a Colorado squawfiah <br />(Ptychocheilus lucius) is also reported. <br />COLORADO RIVER DRAINAGE, DISTRIBUTION, <br />ENDANGERID <br />159 <br />Haynes, C. M. 1980.
