 in different parts of Alichigan in 1916. The species was de-

 doubtless A\ idcly distributed. 



The minnow was found in 1916 in four stream systems, the 

 Au Sable. Manistee. Molasses and \Miite Piver. and a re-

 Dr. S. E. Meek (Mich. Geol. and Biol. Surv., Pub. 20. Biol. 

 Ser. 4). shows that they are also to be referred to L. carktoni.
