Abstract
Herein we report on the collection of 9 Ameiurus brunneus (Snail Bullhead) individuals from 2 major stream systems in the middle Tallapoosa River in Chambers and Randolph counties, AL. These specimens represent the first catalogued records of Snail Bullhead from the Tallapoosa River and constitute a range extension for this species. These records cohere with previous evidence suggesting that reciprocal stream captures took place between the Chattahoochee and Middle Tallapoosa watersheds.
