L. M. Turner, TJngava Bay, Labrador. Accessions 13724 and 13922; 

 catalogue 34114-34261. This large and valuable collection of fishes 

 was made in 1882 and 1883, by Mr. Turner. It contains twenty-seven 

 species, represented in most cases by a sufficient number of excellent 

 specimens. As might have been expected, his collection is rich in 

 Salmonoids, including six species. One of the most interesting of the 

 species is a char, which 1 suppose to be Salvelinus stagnalis; this is 

 remarkable for its enormous size, almost rivaling that of the Maine 

 salmon. Among the rarer species obtained by Mr. Turner are the fol- 

 lowing : Coitus sGorpioides, Gyclopterus spinosusy SticJiwus punctatus, and 

 Somniosus microceplmlus.
