66. Lepomis pallidus (Mitchill). Brur Sunrisu. 
[Jord. Man. 313. O. St. Surv. 121.]- 
A plain-colored small-mouthed fish, young silvery, adults dusky 
with a dark spot on last rays of anal and dorsal, dorsal spines 
high, no blue on cheeks nor red on fins. Length about ro inches. 
Not common. I have two large specimens taken in Mr. War- 
den’s pound, and a few smaller ones seined in Black River. 
67. Lepomis megalotis (Rafinesque).  Lonc-EarEpD 
SUNFISH. 
[Jord. Man; 315. O. St. Surv. 118.] 
A bright colored fish with neat, squarish looking scales, mouth 
small, the ear flap long with pale margins in adult. The young 
need to be carefully studied for identification. Attains a length of 
6 inches. ‘That it is extremely variable is shown by its list of 36 
synonyms. 
Rare. I took two specimens near the mouth of Black River, 
September 10, 1890, the only records. 
68. Lepomis euryorus McKay. 
[Jord. Man. 317. ] 
Body oblong, mouth large, dorsal spines medium, scales on 
cheeks tn 6 or 7 rows, greenish, with some of the scales darker, 
giving a mottled appearance to the fish, opercular flap large (in 
adult) with a broad margin, tail and lower fins with orange margins. 
I took seven specimens near Huron, July 6, 1891, and two 
near Lorain in September. At Huron they were associated with 
L. cyanellus, L. gibbosus, Fundulus diaphanus, and several 
species of /Votrofpis. 
The type specimen from Fort Gratiot, Lake Huron, was unique 
for several years, but in a recent letter Dr. Bean (U. S. F. C.) says: 
«We now have a fine, large example of ewryoras from Minnesota 
in addition to the type.” So far as I know this makes the third 
record.
