Foreword to the Revised Edition 



This revision is an attempt to bring the book up to date and to cor- 

 rect the various errors which somehow insist on creeping into a first 

 edition. New records of fishes have been incorporated. Dr. C. L. Hubbs 

 has generously aided by pointing out mistakes and obscure passages 

 in the first edition. He also rechecked the identifications of the fishes 

 collected from Lake of the Woods by Evermann and Latimer over 

 thirty years ago and now in the U.S. National Museum. The numer- 

 ous errors which he discovered have altered the distribution of many 

 species. 



Several illustrations which have been added were provided by Mr. 

 Lytton Taylor, outdoors writer for the St. Paul Dispatch. Much of 

 the material in the first fifty pages has been rearranged and expanded. 

 Some of this material appeared originally in short articles by the sen- 

 ior author at various times in The Minnesota Volunteer, a publica- 

 tion of the Minnesota Department of Conservation.
