NOAIENCLATURAL NOTES ON THE COTTOID 

 FISHES OF MICHIGAN 



By Carl L. Hubbs 



The present paper deals with the five species of Cottiis, or 

 fresh water sculpins, which inhabit the streams and lakes of 

 Michigan, and the adjacent Great Lakes. The conclusions 

 arrived at in the course of the investigation necessitate the 

 proposal of several changes in the classification and nomen- 

 clature of each species. 



The writer wishes to thank j\Ir. T. L. Hankinson for the 

 loan of specimens of C. franklinii and C. ricei.
