intervals with diffuse vertical daubs extending.from back above 
well down below. ‘These about 6 in number, first from predorsal 
region, second from front of dorsal, third from base of last dorsal 
rays, fourth just behind dorsal, fifth over anal, and sixth at base 
of caudal. After death they appear more or less as 6 pairs of 
diffuse bands. Head olivaceous above, becoming paler or tinted 
gamboge on sides, and. whitish below. Dorsal radii pale brown 
basally, membranes between dusky-olive till distally, when a 
broad marginal band of pink-gray is formed, so that margin of 
fin is only a very trifle more dusky or darker diffusely than this 
color. Caudal rays largely pale brownish, membranes at base of 
fin olive-dusky, especially those of lower lobe, then a broad pale 
Chub Sucker. Erimyzon sucetta oblongus (Mitchill). (Young.) 
olive median area more or less overshot with ruddy or pinkish to 
margin where it is purplish or pinkish-dusky. Pectorals with 
whitish bases, also few innermost rays, then largely deep brick- 
ruddy or red, and sprinkled with neutral or dusky distally but so 
as to leave a slightly submarginal paler area of ruddy to each fin, 
and this is most conspicuous on its upper or outer surface. Radii 
of anal, and margin broadly, ruddy-pink, membranes to base 
dusky. Iris reddish-brown, especially a narrow circle around 
pupil. Lips whitish. Length 734 inches. April 8th, 1906. S.
