aiimuiit I if a snft liulp}' .substance lui.xcd willi IllamciitDUS alL;ac and frat;nii;nts ut in.scct larvae 

 were found. The species is apparently a mixed feeder and the short length of the intestine 

 suggests that the lish feeds chielly nn animal matter. 



Brccdini^: So far as 1 can gather, nothing is known alxuit the hrecding habits of the 

 species. Tt is, however, significant that all the female specimens obtained by the b'-xjiedition 

 during the months of March to May bear mature eggs, the diameter of which is about 1 mm. 



Parasites: No Acanthocephalan parasites were found in the intestine of the specimens 

 examined, Init in a sjieeimen, 13J mm. long, from the Manashal lake several specimens of 

 a species of Neniatode worm were found.
