B. Diplesion blennioides Rafinesque. 

 This darter is well distributed and great numbers of them 

 were taken in the streams throughout the state. A few of the 

 older ones and a fair number of the younger ones were taken in 

 the vicinity of the Bass Islands of Lake Erie. A few were taken 

 from the inland lakes. Tables 4 and 5 illustrate the compar- 

 ative food habits of the Lake Erie and the stream specimens. 

 The data concerning those from the inland lakes was so scant 

 as not to warrant a table.
