Leucichthys reighardi,' new species 



L. reighardi is one of the smallest species of Leucichthys oc- 

 curring in Lake ^Michigan, ranking in respect to size with kiyi 

 and hoyi. Xo specimens have been collected over 27 cm. in 

 length and most of the specimens seen have been too small to 

 gill in 2^4 inch nets. Like alpcnac fhis species frequents depths 

 of less than 60 fathoms and is taken with alpcnac and the other 

 deep-water species of Leucichthys for the smoked fish trade. 



The type is a female specimen, to be deposited in the 

 United States National IMuseum. 210 mm. in length to the 

 base of the caudal, collected in Lake ^Michigan on
