Nov. 1899. FISHES FROM ONTARIO MEEK. 309 



This species differs from Notropis cayuga, Meek, in the reduced 

 size of the scales before dorsal fin, the more slender body, less 

 blunt snout, and the slightly larger and more oblique mouth, 

 and the more incomplete lateral line. It is also a larger fish 

 than Notropis cayuga. 



6. Notropis cornutus (Mitchill). 



(Silverside; Shiner.) 

 Abundant. 



7. Cristivomer namycush (Walbaum). 



(Lake trout; Salmon trout.) 



Caught in large numbers in Muskoka Lake; not found in Gull 

 Lake. 



8. Salvelinus fontinalis (Mitchill). 



(Brook trout ; speckled trout.) 



Reported as common in streams and many smaller lakes, none 

 taken in Gull Lake. 



A white fish and a lake herring are said to be found in Mus- 

 "koka Lake, none were taken during my visit and I am unable to 

 give name of the species. 



9. Umbra limi (Kirtland). 



Abundant in lower part of Gull Lake and in its outlet. 



10. Lucius lucius (Linnaeus). 



(Pike. Pickerel.) 



This species is not found in Gull Lake. Large numbers are 

 caught each year in Muskoka Lake. 



11. Lucius masquinongy (Mitchill). 4 



(Muscalonge.) 



I saw none of this species. It is reported as less common in 

 Muskoka Lake than the preceding; not found in Gull Lake. 



12. Eupomotis gibbosus (Linnaeus). 



(Sunfish.) 



In Gull and Muskoka Lakes, apparently common. 



The specimens collected are more slender (depth 2^3 to 2^) 

 than specimens from northern Illinois. In the young the sides 

 have from 12 to 14 dark bars. These bars are quite conspicuous 

 in specimens 5 inches in length.
