 catalogue, 31940-9 and 31951-5. A collection of the more important 

 species of Winnipeg, secured through the instrumentality of Mr. 

 Strong, of the Canadian press. The entire list is worthy of record: 



1. Moxostoma carpio, (Val.) Jord. ''White-scaled sucker. M 



2. Gatostomus teres, (Mitch.) Le S. "Blue sucker." 



3. Moxostoma macrolepidotum. (Le S.) .lor. "Red sucker." 



4. Hyodon alosoide.s, (Rat.) Jor. & Gilo. "Gold eye." 



5. Stizostedium canadense, (Smith) Jor. "Pickerel." 

 C. Esox Indus, L. " Pike." 



7. Amiunis vulgaris, (Thomp.) Nelson. "Mud pout." 



8. Perca amcricana, Schranck. "Perch." 



9. Catostomus longirostrum. Le S. " Black sucker." 



10. Carpiodes tumidus, Baird and Girard. "Buffalo." 



11. Haploidonotus richarsdsoni, (C. & V.). 



12. Coregonus clupeiformis, (Mitch.) Milner. "Whitensh." 



13. Hyodon alosoides, (Raf.) Jor. & Gilb. "Gold eye." 



14. Catostomus teres, (Mitch.) Le S. "Black sucker." 



15. Moxostoma macrolepidotum, (Le S.) Jor. "Red sucker." 

 Fred. Mather, Adirondack Lakes, New York. Accession 13811; cata- 

 logue, 33917-33999. Mr. Mather has described, for the Adirondack 

 survey report, two new species of Catostomus and forwarded the 

 types to the National Museum. One of these is Catostomus nanomy- 

 zon, Mather, from a tributary of Big Moose Lake. I am inclined to 

 think that these are simply young, or dwarfed, examples of Catosto- 

 mus longirostrum, which have early begun reproduction. I can see 

 no specific characters to warrant their separation from longirostrum. 

 Catostomus utoicana, Mather, from Blue Mountain Lake, Hamilton 

 County, New York, and also from Big Moose Lake, I should call G. 

 teres, (Mitch.), the commonest of the northern suckers. The fact that 

 these two species were found spawning when of small size does not 

 warrant their separation as distinct species, this being probably a 

 climatic phenomenon. 



Lewis G. Mitchell, Barnegat, N. J. Accession 13671 ; catalogue, 33197. 

 Mr. Mitchell forwarded a fine Pomacanthus arcuatus, which we have 

 not before known to exist in our seas north of Florida. A color 

 sketch and a cast were made, and Mr. Todd is now at work on a 

 drawing of both the adult and the young. 



E. W.Nelson, Saint MicliaeVs and vicinity, Alaska. Accession ; 



catalogue, 32S21-987. This includes the major portion of Mr. Nel- 

 son's collection of fishes and contains many valuable species. There is 

 a large series of Oncorhynchi, Goregoni. and other Salrnonoids. besides 

 the following: Chirolophus polyactocephalus (Pall.); Mr. Nelson ob- 

 tained the only specimens we have of this blenny; Lycodes turnerii; 

 Anarrhichas lepturus ; Parophrys ischyurns, from Unalashka, the most 

 northern record from Alaska : Brachyopsis sp. : V ran idea, from mouth 

 of Tananali River; Mureenoides, probably a new species.
