71. Coregonus clupeifonnis Mitcliill. delate \'II. figures .5.5 and .56). 

 Common Whitefish. 



Mostly lacustrine. 



Collectively records repute its distribution to be from Lal)rador and New Brunswick to the 

 Prairie Provinces and northward:* abundant in the Great Lakes, especially in Lake 

 Erie: its spawning beds being perhaps more especially on the Canadian side of the lake. 



72. Coregonus nelsonii Bean. 

 Humpback ^^'hitefish. 

 Lacustrine. 



Recorded from Lake Bennett, British Columbia (Evermann and Cioldsborough, 1907), and 

 from Alaska.

 Labrador Whitefi.sh: Sault Whitefish. 

 Lacustrine and fluviatilc. 



Distriljuted from Labrador, Province of Quebec, and New Brunswick, to the Prairie Prov- 

 inces, embracing the Great Lakes region, inclutling Lake of the Woods: abundant at 

 Sault Ste. Marie: in the United States extending from the "Great Lakes region to the 

 lakes of the Adirondacks and White Mountains, and northeastward" (Jordan and Ever- 

 mann). 



74. Argyrosomus osmeriformis H. M. Smith. 

 Smelt-of-the-New-York-Lakcs. 

 Lacustrine. 



Provisionally included here: "has been recorded only from Seneca and Skaneateles lakes. 

 New York, where it is known as smelt: it doubtless inhaldts others of the deep-water 

 lakes of northern New York'' (.Ionian and ICvermann) : and possibly may be found in 

 Ontario waters. 



75. Argyrosomus artedi Le Sueur. (Plate VII, figures .57 and .58). 

 Cisco: Lake Herring. 



Lacustrine. 



Ranges from Pi-ovince of (Quebec and State of ^'ermont. occurring in Lakes Champlain and 

 Memphremagog, and in Thirty-one mile Lake, some 60 miles north of Ottawa (Shields, 

 1897) westward to Lake Superior: abundant in Lake Erie: extends northward to the 

 Hudson Bay region and to Labrador. 



76. Argyrosomus hoyi Gill, 

 ^looneye Cisco. 

 Lacustrine. 



"Thus far known [1902] only from Lake Michigan antl possibly from Lake Superior" (.lordan 

 and Evermann): cjuestionable in our waters. 



*"It is to be foimd throughout the Cireat Lakes region from Lake Champlain to Lake Superior, and pos^il)ly 

 to Lake Winnipeg. It has been reported commercially from Lake of the Woods, Lake Winnipeg and Northwest 

 Territor}-, but all references to its occurrence west of Lake Superior need verification. All specimens of so-called 

 whitefish from Lake of the Woods which have been examined by any ichthyologist belong to a different species — 

 the Labrador whitefish {Coregonus labradoricus), and this is doubtless the species which the Canadian Fish Commission 

 reports call the 'whitefish' when referring to localities west of Lake Superior." Jordan and Evermann.
