 Myxostoma carpio Jokdan, Man. Vtit. E. U. S. cd. 2il, 1512, 1878. 

 Habitat. — Great Lake Region and northward. Also in the Ohio River. 



This species is apparently not very common, and its distribution is 

 probably chiefly northward. I have obtained but one living specimen, 

 a fine lar^e one, from Lac des Buttes des Morts, in Northeastern Wis- 

 consin. This specimen in life was extremely pale and silvery, its fins 

 having none of the orange coloration common to most of the species. 

 M. carpio is related toM. macrolepidotum, but the much greater develop- 

 ment of the dorsal will always distinguish it.

 Habitat. — Alabama River. 



This species is still known only from the type specimen obtained in 

 Lovejoy's Creek, a small tributary of Oostanaula Kiver, a lew miles 

 north of Rome, Ga. The species is most nearly related to M. macrolepi- 

 dotum, and it is barely possible that the type specimen is a monstrosity 

 of that species. The peculiarities of the mouth, and the fact that the 

 bones of the head seem to be normally developed, lead me to consider it 

 a distinct species.
