 Canal at Muck. All with long gill-rakers, and pectorals shorter 

 than head. Spots variable. 



Lepomis megalotis (Rafinesque). Very abundant with the last

 duced. Many show dark fins. In all the rakers are short, rather 

 weak and mostly less than 10. Pectoral always much less than 

 head. 



Lepomis incisor (Valenciennes). Four from the Tamiami Canal. 

 Largely silvery when fresh in alcohol. No blue lines on side of
