13. Micropterus dolomieu Lecepede. 



(Bass. Green Bass; Small Mouthed Black Bass.) 

 So far as I could learn this is the most abundant game fish in 

 Gull and Muskoka Lakes. The day I arrived one gentleman 

 and his wife brought in 46 specimens from Muskoka Lake, 

 the result of less than a half day's catch. 



14. Micropterus salmoides (Lacepede). 



(Large Mouthed Black Bass.) 



Mr. Currie, of Bala, reports this species from Muskoka Lake. 

 None were seen by me. 



15. Stizostedion vitreum (Mitchill). 



(Pickerel. Wall Eyed Pike ; Pike.) 



Mr. Cockburn, manager of the Muskoka Navigation Company, 

 reports this species as very abundant in Muskoka Lake, none 

 were taken during my visit. 



It is difficult to always understand the use of the names Pike 

 and Pickerel. On the Muskoka Lakes the name Pickerel is 

 usually employed for this species, while Lucius lucius is more 

 commonly known as the Pike. According to Mr. Currie, Lifdus 

 lucius is not found in Muskoka Lake, but in its outlet. 



16. Perca flavescens (Mitchill). 



(Perch.) 



Abundant in Gull and Muskoka Lakes. 



17. Etheostoma boreale Jordan. 



Five specimens, largest 2.10 inches in length, smallest 1.42 

 inches. All were taken in the lower end of Gull Lake. Dorsal 

 ix-io; anal ii, 6 or 7, scales 52; lateral line developed on anterior 

 half of body. Cheeks with a few scales ; breast naked. Soft 

 dorsal, caudal and pectoral fins with dark bars and a brownish 

 red tinge, other fins white ; a brownish red tinge on sides, most 

 conspicuous between the darker markings ; 10 or n black bars 

 across the back, those on the sides are more or less broken up 

 and not so evident. This Darter was first noticed by Dr. Jordan 

 in 1884. At present it is known only from a small stream near 

 Montreal and from Gull Lake. It probably inhabits the south- 

 ern portions of the Provinces of Quebec and Ontario. It is 

 found farther north than any other of our eastern darters.
